São Tomé and Príncipe
Score: 66
"Very high-potential destination for both natural and cultural resources, but with great threats including mass tourism developments and a total disregard for sustainability."
"Extraordinarily high-quality natural environment; moderately interesting culture/history; generally enlightened legislation; VERY weak or corrupt management of government policies and environmental protection."
"Wild, pristine, and grand! Impressive colonial heritage, but rapidly degrading. Serious lack of skilled tourism labor. Tourists are very ill informed about the locale. Outlook very pessimistic. Projects underway with probable negative impacts."
"Very beautiful country, impressed by its people, natural resources, but even more by their cultural heritage of the unique rosas—farms developed by Portuguese during the colonial time. Today the majority of them face critical situations to remain intact."
