Australian and United States’ consuls met with the tour operators in Hwange and Victoria Falls where they restated their countries’ support for Zimbabwe as a safe destination.
The US manages the arrivals pack in Victoria Falls and Hwange, commanding 35 percent as Australia is third after Japan.
Australia and US have an impact on the travelers of other countries as they have the world’s travel agents who accurately control tourism.
Ms Cathy Jenkins represented the Australian Embassy while the US was represented by Ms Amy Diaz in a meeting, which of late talked about many issues including security, health and fuel shortages.
Coming out of the closed-door meeting in Victoria Falls, tour operator representatives stated that the consular officials had given Victoria Falls and Hwange destinations clean bills, adding that the destination had not given way to cholera, which is at present affecting some parts of the country.
“We are happy to meet the consuls with whom we have had collaboration for many years as this reaffirms commitment to support our tourism and keep abreast with what is happening,” said Ms Yvonne Jandles, representing operators.
