Introduction to Cayenne

Economic development mainly relies on French local aid, and most of the food, energy, and daily necessities need to be imported. Forestry, fishery and tourism have great development prospects. Industry is underdeveloped. The coastal land is fertile and the main crops include sugar cane, corn, rice, cocoa, cassava, etc. The shrimp fishing industry is developing rapidly. Tropical natural scenery and Indian villages are the basis for tourism development. Transportation is mainly based on highways and water transportation. The highway length is about 1,140 kilometers. Exports are mainly wood, shrimp, gold and essence, and the main trading partners are France, the United States, Japan, etc.

The Kourou Space Launch Center in Guyana is a space center and rocket launch site jointly established by France and several European countries in Kourou, French Guyana. The Guyana Space Center was founded in 1968 and successfully launched for the first time in 1979. Because the center is located in the equatorial region, the distance between the local surface and the Earth's orbit is short, so rockets launched from here require less fuel. Can fly to the required orbital altitude. Including the European Space Agency (ESA), France's Center National d'?tudes Spatiales (CNES) and Arianespace SA (Arianespace SA) often launch rockets here. Cayenne is located in the northeastern part of South America near the equator, bordering Brazil to the southeast, Suriname to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. The coastline is about 320 kilometers long. The coastal terrain within the territory is low and flat, and the south is the eastward continuation of the Guyana Plateau, which is filled with hills and low mountains. Many rivers and waterfalls. The main rivers are Maroni River, Oyapok River, etc. It has a tropical rainforest climate, hot and rainy. The average annual precipitation is more than 3,000 mm in the east and about 2,000 mm in the west. The average annual temperature is generally around 27°C. Minerals are rich in bauxite and gold ore, as well as rare metals, iron ore, etc. The forest area accounts for about 90% of the entire territory, with various tropical hardwoods and rosewood from which essence can be extracted.

Cayenne is a paradise for eco-tourism. It can be called a green province. It is almost completely covered by the Amazon forest, with large rivers passing through it. Those who love nature and simple culture will find the greatest satisfaction here. The French government has also increased investment in French Guiana to attract tourists from all over the world with better conditions, thereby promoting further economic development. Cayenne's infrastructure is becoming more and more complete, and large hotels and small hotels have formed a scale that can meet the needs of different levels of people.
