One of the major obstacles of African attempt to attract investors and tourists is
the unbalanced reporting and gross negative portrayal of Africaby the western media. This has in the past driven most investors to India, Chinaand other Asian countries. Most western investors are not aware of the plentiful low-cost labor, plenty of fertile land and under-exploited potential for tourism that Africaoffers. Technological advancement has enabled Africans to continue telling Africa's true story to the world. The business friendly Africa. The high-yield-potential Africa. The golden tropical beaches. Millions of college graduates. Yes, the Africabeyond the kid with a swarm of flies on his face that the western media has been peddling for the last 50 years.
