Tourism in Eswatini

Tourism in Eswatini developed during the apartheid era in South Africa and this shaped many of its distinctive attractions.

Many tourists visited Eswatini during that time to watch television programs or sporting events that they could not view in South Africa.

Royal celebrations such as the Incwala Kingship festival are viewed as potential venues for greater tourism growth.
