Nature of tourist industry
Environment & Attractions:
Since World War II, increasing numbers of tourists have come to visit Tanzania. However before 1977, there was little attempt to try to encourage tourism. In 1977 the Tanzania Tourist Corporation (TTC) launched a campaign to attract foreigners.
As part of the plan, two major tourist regions with hotels and lodges were established. The northern region is the more popular, with many National Parks and reserves. In these areas, tourists can enjoy hunting, fishing, game viewing, photography, and many other varied activites. The coastal tourist region includes Dar es Salaam, Mafia Island, Zanzibar, Mikumi National Park, and the Tanzanian coastline. The Kilimanjaro International Airport links these points of attraction.
In 1994, the Tanzania Tourist Board replaced the TTC and was given the permission to make Tanzania a more attractive and competitive tourist destination.
