On Benin’s national voodoo holiday, performers dressed as guardians of the nights whirled in costumes resembling technicolour haystacks, delighting worshippers and tourists alike.

Voodoo is practiced by around 12% of the West African country’s population of 13 million people, but the authorities also want to use these deep spiritual roots and spectacular customs to attract more tourists and boost the agriculture-dependent economy. “For them, there is a lot of interest in discovering the roots of our ancestors, the African roots,” she says.

As part of its development plan, the government has set aside a stretch of beachfront between the main city Cotonou and Ouidah as a special tourism zone for visitors, who it hopes will also be keen to visit historical slave sites, pre-colonial palaces, and tour the natural wonders of Benin’s interior.
