Victoria falls is ours, not yours, Zimbabwe tells SA

South Africa must stop advertising Victoria Falls as its own destination, as Zimbabwe is losing out in terms of tourism revenues, deputy chief secretary to the President and Cabinet, Ray Ndhlukula, has said.

Ndhlukula said it was disturbing that tourists were now flying in and out of Zimbabwe on the same day.

The workshop was aimed at improving the Zimbabwean brand. Victoria Falls is the country's premier tourist destination and has the second highest tourist occupancy rate after Harare.

The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority first quarter report shows that Victoria Falls had an occupancy rate of 35% from 450 572 tourists, who visited the country during that period.
