It’s Not As It Seems: Zanzibar
For a number of years, Zanzibar has been working to expand its tourism sector, and it has had some measure of success in doing so. The island nation markets itself as the ultimate laid-back, tropical beach paradise vacation spot. However, despite the fact that it fulfills some of those promises, not everything is as it first appears.
Given that the exportation of spices is one of Zanzibar’s primary economic activities, it is somewhat surprising that the local cuisine failed to impress the original poster. However, taking into account the predominant culture there, the news that it is not the most LGBTQ-friendly place comes as no surprise to us at all.
