With new promotional campaigns and its popular “Djibeauty” slogan, the country has garnered positive attention from international media and received prestigious accolades in recent years. As outlined in the Djibouti Vision 2035 strategy, the government’s national development policy launched in 2014, economic diversification beyond trade will rely heavily on the country’s ability to sustainably develop its tourism offerings.
