The people making the case for tourists to visit Africa

Tourism in Africa: Which countries are making their pitch?

Ever thought of visiting The Gambia, Sierra Leone or Malawi for a holiday?

These nations and other African countries, eager to promote themselves as global tourist destinations, are posing this question to members of the international press and travel professionals at a major trade show in London promoting tourism.

BBC Africa took a trip down to the event to see how several African countries are getting along in their efforts to promote travel.
