OVER 600 consumers of tourism products and services from 40 countries across the world are expected to attend the Karibu Kilifair tourism exhibition scheduled to take place from June 7 to 9 this year at Prison Grounds in Arusha city.
The exhibition is expected to bring together various tourism stakeholders from within and outside the country to showcase their tourism-related products and services.
Dominic Shoo, Senior Managing Director at Kilifair told reporters here yesterday that the exhibition will bring together 468 tourism stakeholders from 37 countries around the world.
He said due to the successful growth of the tourism sector, the exhibition aims to introduce new tourism products and services.
He mentioned some of the countries whose delegates have confirmed participation include Germany, South Africa, the UK, Italy and other countries.
The guest honour is expected to be Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Angellah Kairuki.
“Organizing exhibitions involves a lot of costs. The main goal is to ensure that consumers of tourism products and services benefit from these exhibitions,” he said.
He called on residents of other regions to visit the exhibitions and get information about the tourism sector.
Head of marketing and sales Noel Petro said 70 percent of corporate customers in the tourism sector get inspired by such exhibitions.
He asked the government to build permanent exhibition halls to facilitate promotion of tourism and its products at any time.
“The exhibitions are unique to us because they bring an opportunity to sell products and tourism services to a wider section of consumers,” he said.
