Zimbabwe’s annual international tourism fair, “Sanganai Hlanganani,” will this year take place in the country’s second largest city, Bulawayo, from June 16-18. The location will be the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre (ZIEC) which sits on 17 hectares of land and offers some 55,000 square meters of indoor and outdoor spaces spread across 6 major halls and dozens of pavilions. The move is aimed to facilitate a larger number of stands since at the 2015 edition, though setting a new record number of 328 participating exhibitors, at least 10 foreign companies failed to secure space after both conference center floors inside the Rainbow Towers and Conference Centre and the outdoor tents had sold out.
The latest data published by Dubai’s Department of Tourism shows the city welcomed 3.7 million overnight visitors during the 11-month period from July 2020 to May 2021.
A speedy recovery in Dubai’s tourism and associated sectors did not happen by accident; rather a clear and meticulous implementation of rigorous precautionary health protocol regime in the emirate and across the country is gradually bearing fruits in terms of growing confidence in the emirate as a safe destination for travellers.
The positive performance of Dubai’s tourism comes as a beacon of hope at a time when tourism and associated industries have been facing an existential threat following long drawn shutdowns and extended flight bans caused by the spread of new and more infectious strains of Covid-19 virus in different parts of the world.

About two dozen striking Greeks were blocking a main avenue in front of parliament, forcing the driver to maneuver awkwardly and deprive visitors of their drive-by photos.
It’s scenes such as these road closures, strikes shutting down archaeological sites, the blockading of the main port of Piraeus turning away thousands of cruise passengers that have horrified people in Greece’s vital tourism industry as the country struggles to emerge from a vicious debt crisis that brought it to the brink of bankruptcy.

The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Regional Conference Enhancing Brand Africa – Fostering Tourism Development will bring together a wide variety of African tourism stakeholders to explore how to build a stronger brand for Africa as a tourism destination (Accra, Ghana, August 17-19, 2015).
Tourism is one of Africa’s most promising economic sectors, but the sector’s capacity to fully contribute to inclusive and sustainable development across the continent is often hindered by negative perceptions and the generalization of crises situations in specific locations. At the same time, the numerous positive stories from Africa remain untold to a global audience, further impeding positive perceptions of the region.
