Wildlife & Conservation Tourism: The Golden-crowned Sifaka has been selected among 100 species for recovery by the Phoenix Species Project, spotlighting the Loky-Manambato region and community-led protection efforts. Tour Packages & Itineraries: Rainbow Tours added two twin-centre itineraries to its Madagascar brochure, including a South Africa Big Five + Madagascar Lemurs option and a Madagascar + Réunion Island route, with new wildlife-focused pages and a donation-linked “Money for Madagascar” scheme. Business & Hospitality: The Mauritius–Madagascar business forum opened in Antananarivo, bringing together 50+ companies across sectors including tourism and hospitality. Cultural Tourism Boost: Madagascar’s restored palace is set to strengthen cultural tourism, adding another draw for visitors to Antananarivo.
