Sao Tome and Principe

Sao Tome and Principe

The scenic islands have potential for tourism, and the government is attempting to improve its rudimentary tourist industry infrastructure. Although a small country, Sao Tome and Principe has four national languages: Portuguese (the official language, spoken by 95% of the population), and the Portuguese-based creoles Forro (85%), Angolar (3%) and Principense (0.1%). French is also taught in schools, as the country is a member of Francophonie.
