100 DAYS OF YOUTH LEADERS FROM KENYA WILL INSPIRE IT NEIGHBOR ZANZIBAR TO PROMOTE TOURISM ?

We have many opportunities in Zanzibar and East African in general recently Zanzibar was featured on Travel and Leisure Magazine , National Geographic Magazine Zanzibar was ranked no 33 out of Hundred Places to visit in the World  . When I see the Department of Diaspora and the vision n I have in mind and ZIPA include Zanzibar Tourism board we can do better even open overseas Offices to Promote this Jewel Islands but Waswahili husema kwenye Miti hakuna Wajenzi na kwenye Wajenzi Hakuna Miti.

If I was DR Shein I will Invite Virgin  Atlantic Mogul to have some tea and convince him to have his Virigin Ailine  once a month land in Zanzibar




I remember few months ago I was in confrence on how to Promote local and International tourism , Asia is one area not even many Africans did even bother to sell the tourism package all there mind is MZUNGU only one can bring Dollars but the trend of the world have shifted the collapse of the economy , Bricks countries  like Brazil now is new Market for travel business , many A american companies are focusing on China and Brazil why not  EAST AFRICANS .Masai Mara was featured one of the best Place to visits in Kenya but I was not surprised to see Kenya my few years in Washington I have learned a lot from Kenyans how they do there business they don't talk but they do ! During Salmin ERA I use to see the Magazine printed and found every where in our Embassies promote Zanzibar but this days is business as usual we cant Eat Mseto Serikali we need to bring more innovation and skills . How about bring chef  BEN HAIDARI  from  Ulaya and Bring his culinary skills to craft Zanzibar food Festival after the finishing the Film Festival this will bring another crowd .









Zanzibar International Festival is opportunity which can be Publicized and bring more tourist to this Islands and create more revenue and reduce unemployement.


.But I dont see our Government is doing aggressive job to promote this Jewel of East Africa During this
