25% tourism jump in Zimbabwe

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) has registered a 25 percent jump in tourist arrivals at its resorts for the period January to October 2018, compared to the same period last year.

The increase is in line with Government efforts under the Transitional Stabilisation Programme (TSP), through which Government seeks to build a foundation for Vision 2030.

Zimbabwe seeks to achieve upper middle income status in the next twelve years.

ZimParks' thrust is on increasing tourist arrivals as a precursor to boosting tourism receipts and employment creation in the industry.
