Banjul and the busy towns around it are the business and tourism heart of The Gambia. Winter visitors, local shoppers and Gambians abroad all look online, so a simple website can open doors.
Banjul is the capital of The Gambia, set on St Mary's Island where the River Gambia meets the Atlantic. The city is home to the main port, government offices and Albert Market, a long established trading place, while Arch 22 is a well known landmark. Much of the commercial activity spreads into the wider Greater Banjul area, including Serrekunda and Kanifing, with Kairaba Avenue known for shops and restaurants. The coast from Bakau to Kololi and Kotu is the heart of the tourism industry, busiest in the European winter. For small businesses, a website helps reach tourists, residents and diaspora customers.
In Banjul and the surrounding area, WhatsApp is the main way to talk to businesses, and Facebook is popular for promotions. Payments use Wave, Afrimoney and QMoney, along with cash in dalasi and bank transfers. English is the official language, with Wolof, Mandinka and Fula widely spoken. Tourists from the UK and Scandinavia arrive mainly in the winter season, and Gambians abroad send money home and pay for goods and services for family.
Winter visitors look for river trips, birdwatching and cultural tours, and a clear page with prices helps them book.
Tourists in Kololi, Kotu and Bakau search for places to eat, so a menu page with location brings them in.
Visitors who prefer local stays can find your rooms and book directly, saving commission.
Gambians abroad want to buy food, building materials and gifts for family, and a website helps them order.
Tailors can show traditional and modern styles so customers, including visitors, order outfits easily.
Visitors arriving at the airport need transport, and a website listing transfers and rates makes booking simple.
Imagine a local guide offering birdwatching and river trips near the coast. Most bookings come from people met on the beach. A SiteDrum site with tour details, prices, photos and a WhatsApp button, plus a Google Business Profile, lets winter visitors planning their holiday from the UK find the guide and book trips before they arrive.
