The Zimbabwe International Trade Fair has slashed entry fees for public days, Friday and Saturday during the annual Bulawayo showcase.
ZITF Company Board chair, Busisa Moyo disclosed this on his Twitter page, saying that it would now cost US$5 for adults and US$3 for children to enter the trade fair grounds on public days.
The ZITF that kicked off yesterday, had two weeks ago announced that entry fees would be pegged at US$10 for adults US$5 for children.
The slashing of the entry fees followed a public outcry that the prices were too steep for families and individuals who wanted to visit the ZITF to see the over 500 exhibitions.
Moyo posted: “In case you missed it. ZITF entry fees have been reduced for Friday and Saturday. USD5.00 (adults), USD3 (children). See you there.”
Members of the public welcomed the development.
The ZITF this year is being the theme: “Transformative, Innovation, Global Competitiveness.”
The showcase has attracted a higher number of foreign and local direct exhibitors compared to last year with a total of 25 direct exhibitors from 21 foreign nations registering their participation compared to 16 direct exhibitors from 13 countries last year.
King Mswati III of the Royal Kingdom of Eswatini will officially open the expo on Friday.
