Seasoned global travel agents currently on a familiarization tour have said that Tanzania may well be Africa’s sleeping giant of tourism.

“I’ve fallen in love with Tanzania because of its breathtaking landscapes and awe-inspiring wildlife. This country is a sleeping tourism jewel of Africa,” said Ms Luisa Yu from Miami, Florida, USA.

The President of Westchester Travel Ink, Ms Yu, is among the travel agents from USA and Israel who are currently on the FAM trip in Tanzania’s famous northern circuit and Zanzibar, courtesy of Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO)’s tourism reboot program.

Ms Yu said that Tanzania’s natural beauty, immense tourism potential, such as wildlife abundance, nice people, culture, and favorable climatic condition tick all the boxes for adventure enthusiasts.

“My experience will put me in a better position to promote Tanzania to my clients. I wish also to implore the country to invest heavily in [a] marketing blitz especially in America to get a slice of a growing outbound tourism market share,” Ms Yu explained.
