Another interesting post about a place in the world I didn’t know existed. Your piece made me wonder who the tourists would be to come there. Where do they come from. Is this a high traffic area for yachts and could they be a stopover location. Getting money from Taiwan was interesting. Hopefully they can get the oil going. Thank you.

Good question!

Here's the data for monthly vistors

For Seychelles, they get mainly Europeans: (Germans, Russians, France, Czech Republic etc.), Arabs (UAE), and South Africans.

For Sao Tome, I can't find the tourism data by nationality.. But I would guess Portugal, Brazil, and Angolans visit the most.
