Abstracts

The initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic’s subsequent partial lockdown in Cameroon began in mid-March as the government enforced restrictions and the country’s air, land, and sea borders were closed and flights were grounded. From the end of March all hotels and retail outlets, including travel agencies and car rental facilities were subject to a curfew of 1800hrs. These conditions effectively halted tourism operations altogether, which remained in place through April until the start of May.
