Tourism Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela has called on the Tourism Council of Zambia to start position itself as Zambia works at actualizing the quest of being the second best choice for Meeting Incentives and Conferences and Events after South Africa.
Speaking at Kwacha House when Vincent Mupwaya, the Chairperson of the council led representatives of his organization to pay a courtesy call on the Minister, Mr. Chitotela said he dreams to actualize the two million tourist arrivals by the end of 2020.Mr. Chitotela said he will build on the successes of his predecessors by adopting the best practices and will not hesitate to make changes where there is need to do so.
The Minister said he had a meeting with Emirates Airliners who have since expressed willingness to show the documentary of Africa’s first-ever walking safaris in the South Luangwa National Park as part of their package of inflight entertainment.And Mr. Mupwaya said the council wants to see the country being marketed internationally so that more tourists can visit Zambia.
He said there are however, several concerns by the by safari operators, lodge owners, airlines on their day-to-day operations including limited support.Mr. Mupwaya said there is need for concerted efforts to have a win-win situation considering that tourism is the second largest employer in the country.And one of the sector players, Grand Cummings thanked the Government creating an enabling environment for the private sector to operate.This is according to a statement issued by Ministry of Tourism and Arts spokesperson Sakabilo Kalembwe.
“The Minister said he had a meeting with Emirates Airliners who have since expressed willingness to show the documentary of Africa’s first-ever walking safaris in the South Luangwa National Park as part of their package of inflight entertainment” This is a seminal virtuoso !!!!
don’t nobody care about second place.
if you’re not confident enough to fight for first place, get the f out of the way
same way lungu says things that don’t have any details of achieving them.. now his ministers have copied his language, just say things and hopefully people won’t ask follow up questions, and Zambian reporters are pretty mediocre at best, they don’t.
inflight entertainment isn’t gonna increase patronage, nobody watches those inflight adverts. that’s a very lazy way of thinking. nothing well thought about, just trying to follow what other countries have done…kenya airways is able to show those inflight about their tourism because those are their planes. you think emirates will let you do that on their planes, you think they don’t want to showcase their sh it?…
