The advice was given yesterday by the
Tanzania and Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) Public Relations Officer,
Ms Regina Tarimo, during the arrival of tourist Rovos Rail at the Dar
es Salaam Station. Ms Tarimo said the Rovos with 51 German tourists
aboard started their trip in Cape Town, South Africa, two weeks ago.
“Our railway line is connected to
Southern African countries, which is an opportunity for increased
revenue as well as tourism attractions, Tanzanians should use the
opportunity as well,” she said Ms Tarimo underscored the need for all
local concerned parties to join efforts to promote domestic tourism as
the infrastructures are there for Tanzanians to enjoy.
On her part, Rovos Rail Operations
Manager, ms Alicia Taljaard, said the tourists will visit a number of
tourist attractions during their stay.
She said the tourists started their route in Cape Town and passed through Botswana, Zimbambwe, Zambia and finally Tanzania.
One of the passengers, Mr Hans-Dieter
Steinbach said they will enjoy seeing a number of attractions available
in the country especially the animals at the Selous Game Reserve.
