Sinazongwe District Commissioner (DC) Oliver Pelete has said that Sinazongwe district has the potential to thrive in tourism because of its geographical location.

Mr Pelete said this in Sinazongwe last night when he officiated at the launch of the Lyawa Lodge.

He said that the opening of the new lodge would help to boost the image of the district as the best destination for tourism.

Mr Pelete noted that tourism has the potential to contribute to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and to improve job security among Zambians adding that the improvement in the hospitality industry in the district will help uplift the living standards of local people.

He urged the Lyawa Lodge owner to give the lodge a competitive advantage in providing better services in the hospitality industry.

And speaking at the same function, Sinazongwe Member of Parliament Raphael Muyanda said Lyawa Lodge is of high standard and thanked the owner for choosing Sinazongwe as the best place for the investment.

Meanwhile, Lyawa Lodge owner, Judy Nakamba said she would work in partnership with the people of Sinazongwe district.

Ms Nakamba said she was proud to associate with Sinazongwe people because the area was good for investment in tourism.

She said for the past three years since she started building the lodge, she has found the people of Sinazongwe to be cooperative and eager to develop the area.
