Zimbabwe’s World Tourism Expo, Sanganai/Hlanganani, has been scheduled for October 12 and 14 in Bulawayo according to the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority.
This year’s expo celebrates the resilience, dynamism, and untapped potential of Zimbabwe as a premier tourism destination in Africa.
Organised by ZTA in partnership with the Ministry of Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry, the annual event brings together major players and stakeholders in the global tourism industry, providing a platform for networking and collaboration, while showcasing Zimbabwe’s tourism potential.
ZTA Chief Executive Officer, Winnie Muchanyuka, said participants should expect various engaging and interactive activities during the expo, such as educational workshops to foster knowledge sharing, networking sessions to foster collaboration among industry experts, and award ceremonies to recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions in the tourism sector.
According to Muchanyuka, the networking sessions will include business-to-business meetings for industry players and buyers
“A tourism investment forum will showcase opportunities available to potential tours and will also discuss various issues affecting the aviation sector.
‘‘A career guidance session will be held for the upcoming tourism leaders.
“Buyers will take up the usual destination site visits in the different locations across the destination to get an understanding of the country’s incredible tourist attractions,’’ she said.
She encouraged the sector’s new players to use the expo to exhibit and showcase their businesses.
“We’re encouraging the upcoming tourism players who have difficulties in accessing the market to come and register as exhibitors and be able to use this platform to market their facilities to the broader tourism family and, more so, to the visiting international buyers,” she added.
