The Central African Republic has seen little international tourism due to its recent history of conflict, an ongoing civil war, and resulting insecurity in certain areas of the country, particularly the north and northwest. The CAR has also been affected by regional conflicts, such as the South Sudanese Civil War and fighting in neighbouring countries. In 2020, the country recorded a total of 34,600 tourists, ranking 159th in the world. The tourism sector had US$30,900,000 of revenue, making up 1.2% of the country's GDP. 66% of tourists arrived from other African countries, and 100% travelled by air.
