Tanzania plans to construct a city around its Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) to tap into tourism and business opportunities.



The Kilimanjaro Airport Development Company (KADCO) is developing a five-year master plan to transform KIA into a modern tourist and duty free shopping city.

Hassan Kibelloh, chairman of the board of directors of KADCO, said experts from the company are working on the plan, which will be ready in a few weeks, to create a city that can compete with UAE's Dubai.

Mr Kibelloh said apart from the 41-year-old air terminal, the KIA area, which lies at the meeting point of the Northern Zone regions of Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Manyara, is a wide stretch of unoccupied land.

"The location is to become a ‘city' at the centre of Moshi and Arusha, where prospective investors will establish massive shopping centres, high class tourist hotels, duty free ports, Export Processing Zones, educational institutions, custom bonded warehouses, curio shops, golf courses and a large game ranch," he said.

"We are now inviting potential investors to establish major ventures in the locality. And when all these are ready, all roads and international air routes will be leading to KIA," KADCO's acting managing director Bakari Mrusuri noted.

Commercial activities in Moshi are slow while Arusha has just closed 60 per cent of its factories.

Mimi nafikiri ule mpango wao wa kigamboni waupeleke halo KIA, Italian manufaa makubwa kwa ushindani wa kibiashara Hass ukizingatia watani wanavyotupiga bao kwenye vivutio vyetu vya utalii.
 
huu mpango ulikuwapo muda mrefu nadhani toka enzi ya Mkapa. Ndio maana mamlaka za kimkoa zitasaidia kusukuma maendeleo badala ya kujilimbikizia madaraka serikali kuu
 
Waondoe ule mpango wa Arusha mjini wapeleke nguvu zao hapo karibu KIA; ni very good project, and strategic area

Kuliko kuondoa watu kaloleni nyamafu zenu
 
Jiji la kujengwa kwa muda wa miaka mitano!!! Nina wasiwasi na hasa ukizingatia udhaifu wa serikali yetu. Kama ni rahisi kiasi hicho, mbona basi Dodoma haijaisha mpaka leo? Hii ni danganya toto nyingine.
 
Machinga Complex in every district etc

LOL, and they are giving it to their buddies not real Machinga's so no help at all... the Machinga are still on the

streets...
 
Chairman Bord of Director, Mr. Hassan K. a plan to have a city arround with duty free shops, that will compete with UAE?
Labda uwaeleze wananchi wa Tanzania kwamba mmewahi kuukodisha uwanja wa KIA kwa muwekezaji kwa gharama ya sh 13,000Tsh kwa mwezi, haikutosha sasa mnataka kuchimba madini ya Tanzanite yaliyoko katika ukanda huo wa uwanja. Achana na ndoto za kushindana na UAE wakati uwanja unatua na kurusha ndege 5 kwa siku.
