Zim Records 12% Rise In Tourist Arrivals
Zimbabwe received a total of 2 422 930 tourist arrivals in the year 2017, a 12% rise from the previous year, largely due to the renewed confidence in the tourism sector by the international community, a cabinet minister has said.
Addressing the press during a welcome reception for Zheing Zhiang Radio and TV Group from China, Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industries, Prisca Mupfumira said the tourism sector has benefited from last November’s power transition which ushered in the “New Dispensation”
“The Tourism sector is on a rising trajectory. The peaceful transition to the new dispensation in November 2017 totally changed the image and perception of Zimbabwe from a country perceived to be at war with itself to n exceptionally safe and peaceful country.
“The country received a total of 2 422 930 tourist arrivals in the year 2017, which represents a 12% increase from the 2 167 686 tourists received in 2016,”said Mupfumira.
