Tourist Map of Buea
The activity of tourism authorities in Buea and Limbe, with respect to the impending Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, can be summarized in one sentence: “upgrade existing infrastructure and add rooms to extend capacities”. Satisfied with the completion rate of 70% for all these works, the Ministry of Tourism and Liesure Delegation visiting the South West Region for this purpose, from 4 to 8 August 2016, left assured that hotels will be ready in time for the august event.
The State in view of the Women’s AFCON decided to upgrade select hotels in Limbe and Buea to full four star status.

Also, to the 30 chalets and 50 rooms of the Mountain Hotel, the State decided to add 62 rooms (of four-star grade, of course), a gym, a night club and a new restaurant, with both projects costing the Government more than 12 billion CFA francs.
