The Abidjan to Lagos Corridor is becoming one of the world’s largest emerging megalopolises, linking major economic centres across Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria. It is expected to house nearly 50 million people by 2035. Massive projects like the US$15.6 billion Abidjan to Lagos superhighway (starting 2026) and the Ivory Coast’s €67 million port logistics upgrade solidify West Africa’s role as a regional trade and transport hub. Regional policies under ECOWAS, such as visa facilitation and integrated transport networks, are actively boosting intra-African mobility.
In Côte d’Ivoire, business travel currently accounts for more than 55% of travel and tourism GDP contributions, far surpassing leisure spending.
With improved infrastructure, political stability, and cultural diversity, West Africa is emerging as a prime business-tourism destination, favoured for both professional events and experiential travel.
