Govt rescues Sanganai/Hlanganani expo

THE Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) has received a “substantive amount of money” from the government to fund this year’s Sanganai/Hlanganani World Tourism Expo and pay all debts incurred in previous editions.

Speaking at a media briefing in Harare yesterday, ZTA chief executive officer Karikoga Kaseke said hosting the expo required not less than $3 million, but given the current operating conditions in the country the expo would require between $1 million to $1,2 million including the contribution from the tourism sector.

The tourism sector last year contributed $470 000 for Sanganai/ Hlanganani Expo.
