Cresta Hotels revealed there have been increased numbers of visitors in almost all destinations around the country, including Hwange National Park, Lake Kariba and the Lower Zambezi, Bulawayo and the Matobo Hills, Great Zimbabwe, the Eastern Highlands and the Gonarezhou area of the Lowveld.
For example, the new Kariba Safari Lodge is set to open in Kariba in September. Africa Albida Tourism said a number of new camps and lodges opened recently, or are about to open, in Hwange, representing significant investment.
According to Cresta Hotels, the key to facilitating significant and sustained increases in arrivals in all these destinations is the creation of satisfactory scheduled air services to connect them.
