Tour operators opting for WTM

Dar es Salaam. Tourism is one of the top foreign exchange earners for Tanzania today, bringing in close to Sh5.2 trillion last year. But, although there is relatively extensive promotional
efforts overseas, little is being done to enable local tour operators to reach source markets overseas. Between May 7 and 10 this year, thousands of buyers, exhibitors and government officials from across the world converged in Durban, South Africa, for the annual Travel Indaba where they showcased their products, at the same time exchanging their experiences and views. Even as the Indaba attracted thousands, few Tanzanian companies were part of the exhibition – despite the country being endowed with tourist attractions that arguably make it second only to Brazil.
