Tourism stakeholders hail govt for enabling Israel-TKIA direct flights
STAKEHOLDERS in tourism have hailed the government for major improvements at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) which has started attracting various international airlines to increase their direct services to the country through the airport.
Speaking soon after landing of Air Israel plane at the airport, the stakeholders said the improvements will also see an increase to the number of tourists visiting Tanzania as they will now short travel time and at lower cost.
“This will also be a relief to Tanzania travelling to foreign countries for business or religious trips due to reduced cost and reliability,” said Samson Keshama, a tourism stakeholder.
Keshama who works for a tourist company – Excellent Guides, said as of now time of travel from Tanzania to Israel has been reduced from nine hours to four and half.
He said tourists companies have devised a procedure to connect Tanzanians travelling to Israel for religious trips.
Duncan Ludovic, a priest is among the wananchi who stand to benefit from the trips to Israel for annual pilgrimage.
He said travel costs to Israel continue to fall with time as well as travel time because of Israel-KIA direct flights.
Arnold lema, a religious leader based in Dar es Salaam said the reduction of travel cost to Israel is attributed to the government efforts in improving its various institutions dealing with tourism, transport and travel and specifically mentioned the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) which has attained great achievement in advertising Tanzania tourist attractions in partnership with tourism stakeholders.
Others who spoke about these achievements include Deus Kurwa and Danford Ludoivic Mwankiraa who advised for more efforts in the improvement of the tourism sector.
Yet others hailed the government for these efforts and advised that similar improvements should also be made to the country’s other areas with potential tourism opportunities.
