We’ve written about this a lot already so let’s make this catch up quick.
President Trump called most African countries “sh*tholes”, the world collectively shook its head, hilarity ensued.
So what is the most recent thing to come out of this completely obvious display of racism?
An absolutely spot on tourism video from Namibia (see: “Nambia”) by the Gondwana Collection Namibia – a group which run several game reserves in the southern African nation.

From deserts to underground lakes and”sh*tty” coastlines, we’re calling this the tourism spruik of the year.

France still remains in number one position.
While the UNWTO is not scheduled to release a full 2017 drill down until later this year, the most recent report speculates a tumble in the USA’s popularity has coincidently happened during Trump’s reign.
As per the figures, Spain’s popularity has been steadily increasing, with 82.2 million international tourists visiting Spain in 2017, compared to the 75.3 million in 2016.
This is compared to 72.9 million visitors to the US, down from 75.9 million.
It is worth noting here that Spain suffered a devastating year in 2017, as terrorism took the lives of dozens of people as well as the fraught situation in Catalonia.
