A strong mission of tour operators from Tanzania is heading to South
Africa to take part in World Travel Market (WTM) Africa scheduled for
next week.
The World Travel Market Africa is the leading B2B exhibition for the inbound and outbound African travel and tourism markets.
Through its industry networks, global reach and regional focus, WTM
Africa creates personal and business opportunities providing the
customers with quality contacts, content and communities.
Led by the Karibu Travel Market Tanzania officials, Tanzania
delegation is anticipated to showcase the country’s unsurpassed tourism
attractions.
“Karibu TMT, a famous locally owned global brand of tourism fair
would be leading the Tanzania’s participants on WTM Africa to be held in
Cape Town, South African from 6th to 8th April 2016,” says CEO of
Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) Mr. Sirili Akko.
With over 200 companies confirmed to participate, the Karibu TMT
mission is optimistic to meet some participants in WTM Africa in advance
before their travel to Tanzania.
The 16-year-old Karibu TMT touted as one the leading travel show in
Africa, would to be held at Magereza grounds near Arusha airport on May
27th – 29,th in 2016.
“We expect more international delegates this year,” he explains. He
urged TATO members and other tourism stakeholders to encourage their
partners from within the EA region and overseas to take part in the show
that would be graced by the natural resources and tourism Minister,
Prof Jumanne Maghembe.
Karibu TMT is an annual business-to-business exhibition for travel industry professionals, according to TATO CEO.
The event also hosts the suppliers of travel and tourism products to showcase the latest developments in the travel industry.
“It brings together the largest global industry gathering of
destinations, tour operators, hotels, airlines, technology and online
travel services under one roof and covers a diverse range of sectors
within the travel and tourism industry,” Mr. Akko explains.
Tanzania, the East African country's stunning wildlife, expansive
volcanic crater and intriguing islands all set it apart as a unique
destination. Massive Mount Kilimanjaro just adds to its allure.
The Indian Ocean laps Tanzania's eastern edge between Kenya and
Mozambique, and the "spice island" of Zanzibar is 22 miles off the
mainland.
Sometimes called "Africa's Garden of Eden," some 25,000 large animals
live in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which stretches across 3,200
square miles of the southeastern Serengeti Plains adjacent to Serengeti
National Park.
The 12-mile-wide Ngorongoro Crater is the area's crown jewel. The
largest unbroken caldera in the world, it is thought to have formed
after an active volcano collapsed about 2.5 million years ago.
Well over a million wildebeest pass through the area during the
annual Great Migration, one of the planet's most remarkable natural
spectacles.
From December to March each year, wildebeest, zebras and other
animals gather near Lake Ndutu on the edge of the conservation area.
From there they move north, eventually ending up in the Northern Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara in the fall.
