Zimbabwe tourism minister Priscah Mupfumira would attend the 2018 International Tourism and Trade Fair (FITUR) from January 17 to 21 in Madrid, Spain.
Mupfumira’s attendance will mark the country’s 10th participation at the international tourism fair.
Zimbabwe Tourism Authority chief executive Karikoga Kaseke said, “The platform will present an opportunity to engage various United Nations World Tourism Organisation member States to rally behind Zimbabwe as the destination seeks to regain the lost market in tourism development.”
Kaseke urged local tourism operators to exhibit at FITUR, and said that it is important for Zimbabwe to leverage on opportunities presented by the international tourism trade exposition. FITUR is a leading trade fair in Spain and number three in the world after Internationale Tourismus-Börse in Berlin and World Travel Mart in London. Last year, the event attracted a record 9 893 exhibiting companies from 165 countries/regions, more than 135 858 trade participants and 107 213 public visitations.
