Despite news of wildlife poaching in Tanzania the current statistics show that the country is generating nearly 4 billion USD in the tourism sector; equal to 13% of the GDP MOblog can report.
Speaking to invited dignitaries at the cocktail party organized by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Dar es Salaam, Chargé d’affaires Mr. Hans Koeppel said that after gold, tourism is the largest source of foreign exchange bringing 1.7 billion USD.
He said that for nearly 50 years the ITB has been the driving force in the worldwide travel industry with more than 170,000 visitors. Among these 113,000 trade visitors and 11,000 represented companies from 180 countries.

Mdau wa 1, hio US$ 4 bilioni ni hisa ya GDP yetu na sio mapato. Ukisoma wameandika ni sawa na asilimia 13 ya GDP yetu. Pia, habari inasema kwamba ni source yetu ya 1 kupata fedha za kigeni.
ReplyDeleteTourism is a good foreign exchange earner for the country. Let us continue working hard to provide value for money for our clients. Eti mdau hapo juu anauliza pesa zinaenda wapi? si mishahara, matumizi mengine na maendeleo yanagarimiwa ikiwa ni pamoja madeni ya nje na ndani.
