Introduction to Yundum, The Gambia
Yundum is an important town in the West African country of The Gambia, situated around the Banjul International Airport in the Western Region, about 20 kilometers from the capital city of Banjul. As the main aviation hub and gateway of The Gambia, it is centered around Yundum International Airport (now Banjul International Airport), which handles international flights throughout the country.
Geographical and Historical Background
Wyndum is located on the coastal plain of The Gambia and has a savannah climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Historically, the area has evolved through the construction of airports, with the runway being used by the Allied Forces during World War II and later expanded to become a modern international airport. The local economy is traditionally based on agriculture, with crops such as peanuts and maize being grown.
Modern Functions and Features
Today Yundum has a transportation hub as its core function, with ancillary service areas forming around the airport. The area is also known for its folk crafts such as handmade wood carvings and traditional textiles, which attract the attention of passing tourists. With the development of tourism in The Gambia, Wyndum's role as the first point of entry is becoming increasingly important.
