There is relatively limited tourism in Niger. Most of the tourism industry is in the north, where the city of Agadez allows access to the desert.[1] Other places that see tourism are the capital city, Niamey, areas around the Niger River, and reserves such as Kouré[1] which is known for West African giraffes.[2]
Tourism in Northern Niger started to develop in the 1970s.[1] Tourism dropped during the Tuareg rebellion in the early 90s.[1]
There is an ongoing travel warning to Niger because of terrorism as a result of the Insurgency in the Maghreb (2002–present) and the Boko Haram insurgency.[3] The 2020 Toumour attacks happened on the 12th of December 2020, when Boko Haram militants attacked the village of Toumour, killing 28 people and wounding around 100 people.[citation needed]
