With Tanzania aiming to expand its reach from leisure travelers to the corporate market, the country is thinking to bring in new conference facilities for attracting large-scale events. But while Tanzania has targeted a number of cities for growth, the current visa system might prove to be a hindrance.
“We are steadily preparing the country for the big time when it comes to business tourism,” said Elishilia D. Kaaya, the CEO of the Arusha International Conference Centre.
D. Kaaya said further, “Our vision is to create a road map for the development of this sector in the country. As far as I am concerned, this sector still has a lot to accomplish to reach its full potential. We are currently scouting areas like Zanzibar, Dodoma, Mwanza, and also the southern part of Tanzania that is rich in natural endowments. As the only public organization in the country dealing with business tourism and conferences, we feel it is high time other parts of the country also partake in the share of this huge cake.”

“Arusha is home to some of the most acclaimed natural sites in the world such as the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro and Ngorongoro crater. Our center is closely associated with these amazing sites because of our proximity to them,” added D. Kaaya.
