Tanzania is land of peace and the country is determined to sustain that positive reputation.
Following recent incidents of kidnapping tourists, which happened very far from the territorial borders of Tanzania in the North, we have noted a growing concern about the safety of visitors to the East Coast of Africa. Indeed, there have been several travel warnings pointing at East Africa, including Tanzania.
As the Minister responsible for Tourism matters in Tanzania, I would like to reassure our visitors, both those who are already in the country as well as prospective ones that Tanzania continues to be one of Africa’s safest and most enjoyable destinations.
Due to the threats, Tanzania has intensified security measures to ensure that its people and the visitors remain safe. Security apparatus in the country are working closely to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism to tighten security in the Tanzania territorial waters as well as in the hinterland.
It is my sincere hope that the incidents that happened far away from the territorial borders of Tanzania should not be the cause for panic nor cancellation of travel plans to Tanzania.
We would therefore like to assure all our esteemed visitors intending to travel to Tanzania at any time that they are welcome and that all necessary precautions have been taken to make sure they are as safe as possible.
‘Karibu Tanzania’.
Hon. Ezekiel M. Maige
Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism
