Facts about Chad

Tourism in Chad is not a major industry but the country still attracts a number of tourists each year. Visitors in Chad are usually excited by the hunting capabilities in the country.

The country is named after the ‘Lake Chad’ which is the largest wetland in Chad and the second largest in Africa. French and Arabic are the most popular languages in the country. The country has over 200 ethnic groups. Crude oil became the country’s primary source of exporting income in 2003, usurping the cotton industry.
