— Karibu Travel Market Tanzania (Karibu TMT) has received a boost this
year after Ethiopian Airlines signed a deal with the organisers to carry
participants at discounted packages.
The 16-year-old
Karibu TMT touted as the second largest travel show in Africa after
Indaba in south Africa, and the East African premier travel and tourism
exhibition, would be held in Arusha from May 27 to 29 this year.
Ethiopian Airlines
traffic and sales manager for Kilimanjaro Ms Fitsimt Dejene said her
carrier would offer concession airfares but did not disclose how much it
would be.
"It is a rewarding
experience for Ethiopian Airlines to contribute towards the upcoming
Karibu TMT fair by providing concession air fares to attract more
visitors from source markets," Ms Dejene explained.
Tanzania
Association of Tour operators (Tato) chief executive officer Mr Sirili
Akko said the partnership would be a major boost to the Karibu TMT.
"We are very much
delighted and definitely our partnership with Ethiopian Airline will be a
major boost in our nearly two-decade efforts to promote tourism
industry," said Mr Akko
