Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has called for a policy change to open up the airspace, in order to allow competition and boost tourism. Officially opening the Hlanganani/Sanganai World Tourism Expo in Bulawayo last Thursday, Chiwenga said
On the domestic front we have opened up the domestic airspace for other players and we have seen new airlines now competing on our domestic routes. Therefore, the issue is not only to attract competition but to make ourselves ready for that competition.
Indeed, with open skies complemented by open borders, Zimbabwe’s tourism sector will be poised for growth and development for the benefit of the economy. This calls for well-thought-out and aggressive marketing programmes in our targeted markets.
