Africa Albida Tourism says the country's tourism industry is "turning a very positive corner" and the growing optimism is encouraging the group to continue investing in new and upgraded products.
AAT chief executive Ross Kennedy last week indicated that in addition to the group's $3 million investment in 2012, further upgrades were budgeted for this year, including the refurbishment of all 72 rooms at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge.
Kennedy said positive developments in the sector were mirrored by the arrival of international airlines Emirates and Dutch KLM back into Harare, the ongoing upgrading of the Victoria Falls International Airport and the general improvement of product and property in the resort town.
The AAT chief predicted that the Victoria Falls Airport would, in the near future, see the arrival of international airlines on a direct basis and would make significant impact on the tourism industry.
