indexThe government of Zimbabwe is considering adopting the Victoria Falls tourism special economic zone corridor approach, which is expected to have a considerable effect in addressing the disparity in product profiling within Matabeleland North.

 
Zimbabwe and hospitality industry minister Prisca Mupfumira said that this would make sure that tourism development doesn’t only focus on Victoria Falls but also centres on other areas of the province.

 
The minister said that the naming of the region as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) shouldn’t just concentrate on investment from outside the country, but also focus on people at grassroots level.

 
The minister also added that after successful implementation, the SEZ would witness building up of a world-class tourism and hospitality training institution that would invite attention of the Sadc region.
