Madagascar, an island country that separated from mainland Africa 80 million years ago, has inherent advantages that potentially allow it to develop a tourism industry that could lead the country out of poverty. However, due to reasons such as political instability or difficulty during implementation, Madagascar has yet to improve its economic conditions. This work puts forth an implementable set of actions, mainly composed of investment in infrastructure and human capital around Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, that may improve Madagascars current economic situation. Although many difficulties during implementation can be predicted, it is believed that Madagascars unique biodiversity, especially in Andasibe, could create significant changes. By comparing Andasibes situation with other East African countries national parks, this work attempts to prove how this investment may lead Madagascar to develop a strong tourism industry, leading the whole country to take another step towards industrialization.
