Tanzania announces investment sites for accommodation facilities
Tanzania’s tourism is growing, and to meet this growth, the government has announced some 179 investment sites earmarked for the construction of accommodation facilities.
Announcing the country’s tourism hub of Arusha earlier this week, Deputy Conservation Commissioner of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Mr Iman Nkuwi, said the government is committed to attracting local and foreign investors.
“The government has earmarked several areas for investment in the tourism industry for both local and foreign investors,” he told a host of visiting global travel agents at a high-profile Business-to-Business (B2B) event.This week, Arusha hosted a number of influential global travel and tourism agents and local tour operators. The B2B event was the brainchild of African Queen Adventures CEO Alice Manupa.
In her address to the tourism and hospitality patrons, the CEO said the event is designed to offer global agents a firsthand experience of Tanzania’s renowned tourism attractions.
