Madagascar

Madagascar, whose capital Antananarivo sits in the central highlands, draws visitors and business travellers alike with its extraordinary biodiversity and growing industries in vanilla cultivation, seafood export, mining, and textile manufacturing. Travellers explore the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava, trek through Ranomafana National Park in search of lemurs, and relax along the beaches of Nosy Be. Shoppers find handwoven raffia baskets, embroidered textiles, zebu-horn carvings, and locally grown spices at the Zoma market area and the craft stalls lining Antananarivo's Analakely district.
