Masvingo tourism players have been urged to grab business opportunities in the form of vast local resources available in the province to meet the Vision 2030 target.
Speaking at a Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry Tourism Amendment Bill Consultation Workshop held at Chevron Hotel in Masvingo, Tourism Deputy Minister Tongai Mnangagwa said Masvingo tourism players should take advantage of many tourist destinations in the province to develop the industry towards Vision 2030.
“In Masvingo we have many tourist destinations including Great Zimbabwe, so those in the industry must be ready to take advantage of this chance and work hard towards Vision 2030.
“In order to meet 2030 Upper middle-income economy target, tourism has to play its part, this can be achieved if necessary capabilities are developed in key sectors of the economy including tourism and hospitality,” said Mnangagwa.
Mnangagwa said there was need for amendment of the Tourism Act to make sure it was in line with national development imperatives and said participation of all stakeholders was important for development of the sector and the country’s economy.
