More and more, Togo is being recognized for its immense potential as a magnet for business and tourism travel. The capital city of Lome has several world class hotels and conference venues, as well as a plethora of fine dining options. For tourists, attractions include the beach, natural parks, numerous traditional cultural festivals, and special points of historical and cultural interest such as the UN World Heritage site in Koutammakou.
