African Tourism Board president Mr. Cuthbert Ncube has arrived in Western Tanzania to attend a special tourism Beach Round Table Conference and an award-giving ceremony over the weekend.

Together with other tourism and travel executives from Tanzania and East Africa, Mr. Ncube will receive the Lake Victoria Super Kalemera Tourism Award at a Gala Dinner to be hosted in Bukoba town on the shores of Lake Victoria in Western Tanzania.

The ATB President arrived in Bukoba town a day ago and then visited various tourist attraction sites shared by Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and partly Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

These untapped attractive tourist sites are the natural Equatorial forests, wildlife, nature, and attractive landscapes including the 70-meter high Kamachumu Waterfalls.

Bukoba town in Kagera Region stands as a one-stop center for tourists and holidaymakers touring Western Tanzania’s rich wildlife parks of Rubondo, Burigi-Chato, Rumanyika, Biharamulo, Ibanda, and Kibisi which make part of Tanzania’s Western Tourist Circuit near the shores of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, the biggest lakes in Africa.

Gombe and Mahale Chimpanzee Parks are the other premium parks located in the Western Tanzania tourist circuit. The area shares its tourist resources with the other East African Community (EAC) region, paving the way for the development of intra-Africa tourism which ATB has been promoting.

The ATB President will also join other tourist executives and VIPs at a Beach Round Table Conference and special Award Giving Ceremony.

The event is part of campaigns targeting to stimulate a regional tourist network that would attract the movement of people within each state in East Africa and then the entire region where people from one nation would travel to a neighboring state, thus, creating a regional tourism network.

African Tourism Board is a strategic partner with the World Tourism Network. ATB is a pan-African tourism organization with a mandate to market and promote all 54 Destinations, thereby changing the narratives.
