ROUTES AFRICA: Bringing Tourism Visitors Back to Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is working hard to attract visitors back to the country and is on track to record its highest level of tourism arrivals this year in more than two decades. The country welcomed 2.3 million visitors last year, equalling figures from back in 1996 before a slump in arrivals due to adverse publicity in the world's media about the country. The arrivals have picked up again since the formation of the inclusive Government in 2009 and with more states lifting travel warnings to Zimbabwe and more aggressive promotion the country expects to surpass the 2.5 million figure this year.
