BY now everyone knows Tanzania and Tanzania knows its self.
They come slow but later they run, trying to play catch up.
When they were slow in going capitalist or free market, poverty taught them to do a somersault from Ujamaa and try to catch up with the others.When they were slow on integration COW brought them back to their senses and they started complaining of being sidelined from EAC.

Now watch this space. When Tanzania realizes that it has absolutely nothing that the other coutries do not have, yes absolutely nothing and note:-

The best Kilmanjaro view is always from Kenya side and Loitoktok is a town in Kenya which sits on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, you enjoy seeing the best view of the Mt. while you are enjoying a game drive at the Amboseli game reserve on Kenya side. The Masai l2(Top tourist attraction) have their best conservation park next to Amboseli. Tsavo National park just next door to Amboseli probably has the hugest elephants of East Africa and beyond you find the best beaches in East Africa at Mombasa. The eighth wonder of the world, wilde beeste migration takes place at the mara in Kenya, The best view of Lake victoria is obviously in Uganda, jinja and where can you see the Gorillas easily if not Uganda or Rwanda. What is it that one will want to see in Tanzania that is not in the new east africa? i.e Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda? Now which tourist in their right senses will visit one country for the price of three? Obviously when you travel you want to visit as many countries as possible if the budget will allow.

As of now Kenya scooped the World’s Leading Safari Destination at the 20th World Travel Awards (WTA) grand finale in Doha, Qatar.
Kenya got the most votes from travel agents worldwide to beat other competing destinations including Tanzania, South Africa, and Botswana. The award comes barely a month after Kenya’s tourism marketing agency Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) was voted Africa’s leading Tourism Board by WTA. Do you think that the world travel agents are not aware of what is there in Tanzania?
or that they did not take into consideration that al shabab is there in Kenya? In fact dodging alshabab is rapidly becoming a tourist attraction.

Nobody is therefore overly concerned about Tanzania accepting one visa, they come slow but soon they will run, give them six months and watch and listen carefully. In the meantime let the Tourist decide and let the best marketer win.

My advice to Tanzanians? If you can not beat them, join them.

I hope real thinkers from Tanzania are reading this, they should put off emotions and think of future of their country.

TZ bado tuko nyuma kifikra. ALways Kenya earn more because they have the facilities to do so. Selfishness costs the weak members of the EAC than they do to the strong.....TZ will always play second fiddle to Kenya no matter how hard we try to challenge them....................they are just too strong for us.

Watz walokata Tamaa ya maendeleo ya nchi yetu kama wewe you don't deserve to speak public ally, it's a shame kukiri UKo weak. Huu ni wakati wa Ku stand on our feet to build our economy and reject all oppression mission from our neighbour. Hongera Mzee sita tupo pamoja daima. TZ kwanza wengine baadae.

Tz has a right to decide whether or not to join the joint visa scheme. But Minister Sitta either knowingly or unknowingly misled the public about the collection of the visa fee. He wrongly stated that the visa issuing country retains the entire amount. The agreement between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda was that a tourist would be charged 100 dollars which would then be divided as follows; Each country in the coalitions to get 30 dollars from the fee paid. The extra 10 dollars was to go to the visa issuing country. This means that even if a tourist only visited one country, the fee paid would still be shared by all.
In a situation where Tz and Burundi also joined the fee would be split according to the countries in agreement.

wewe ndio uko wrong kwenye data zako tz ndio inaongoza kwa mapato ya utalii eac,pili nani kakuambia fukwe za salender bridge ni kwa ajili ya watalii kuogelea!!!watalii wanaotaka kuogelea waelekeze waende kunduchi,tanga au znz,kuhusu uchafu wa mt kilimanjaro nilipanda huo mlima juzijuzi sijaona uchafu uliokidhiri kama unavyosema na hakuna dalili kwamba watalii wanaacha kupanda ml kilimanjaro na kwenda mt kenya!!!!

kwa mtazamo huo tutabakia kuwa mkia na kenya kichwa. Bandika takwimu za mapato ya utalii na idadi ya wageni kati ya kenya na tz in the last five years.

Sisi tunazungumzia watalii laki sita hadi saba wenzio wanazungumzia mamilioni ya watalii. Tunazungumzia kupata dola bilioni moja kwa mwaka wenzio mabilioni kadha wa kadha kwa mwaka. Idadi ya watalii na mapato haina uhusiano wa moja kwa moja na vivutio ingelikuwa hivyo basi Thailand isingekuwa inaingiza watalii wengi na kupata mabilioni ya dola zaidi ya nchi zote za afrika zikijumlishwa pamoja.

Bila fukwe safi hatuwezi kupata watalii wengi. Nenda Seychelles hawana wanyama lakini kamwe hatuna ubavu wa kushindana nao kimapato na idadi ya watali. Nafikiri harufu ya mavi umeizoea sana na ndiyo maana unaona siyo ishu tena..................................lakini kwa wageni it is a big ishu. Tetea upumbavu wetu na soko la ajira tutaendeelea kulisikia kwenye bomba tu.

Mlima Kilimanjaro ni jalala la taka kama huoni haimaanishi huo siyo ukweli tena ukataji wa miti na uchomaji wake unazidi kutondoa kwenye chati. Jitihada za kuwaelimisha wahusika zimeingia dosari na uharibifu wa mazingira unaharibu mandhari yake ya uoto wa asilia. Kutoona wewe hakumaanishi hakuna tatizo............it should not be a defense, at all!. Yaani "out of sight does it necessarily mean out of mind of the reality at hand?"

acknowledging the truth is the first step to resolve our imbroglio. Denial of the truth is hypocrisy and running away from the truth never takes any person let alone a nation like ours anywhere. Watanzania tuko nyuma kifikra sana na ndiyo maana tunapenda kuongopa lakini uongo hautatui shida. Standing on our feet begins with acknowledging where we are, where we are coming from and where we would like to go but lies are a reproach to any people...........

What a sigh of relief to read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AM very pleased that the are a few of us who can peek beyond vain propaganda and utopia.

takwimu zako zina walakini mkubwa. Kenya ndiyo getaway ya watalii EAC na ndiyo inaoongoza kwa mapato na idadi ya wageni siyo kwa sababu ya vivutio bali uwezo wa kujitangaza, miundo mbinu na usafi wa mazingira.

Tukitaka kushindana nao tuanzie kusafisha pwani ya Dar-Es-Salaam ambayo hado Ikulu inanuka vinyesi nani ataogela hapo. Salender Bridge ni mapito ya uchafu badala ya maji safi. Tuache kujivika vilemba vya ukoka na kuanza kutatua matatizo makubwa ndani ya sekta ya utalii. Nenda Kilimanjaro mlima umegeuzwa jalala la matakataka na uchomaji wa misitu holela. Kwa utaniutani wa namna hii sii tutaendelea kluwa mkia na Kenya kichwa cha EAC............

Kwa hiyo hayo matatizo yetu ya usafi ndio iwe nyenzo yako ya kukubali tuingie kichwa kichwa kwenye matakwa yao ya single visa etc?

kwa mtazamo huo tutabakia kuwa mkia na kenya kichwa. Bandika takwimu za mapato ya utalii na idadi ya wageni kati ya kenya na tz in the last five years.

Sisi tunazungumzia watalii laki sita hadi saba wenzio wanazungumzia mamilioni ya watalii. Tunazungumzia kupata dola bilioni moja kwa mwaka wenzio mabilioni kadha wa kadha kwa mwaka.

Kutoona wewe hakumaanishi hakuna tatizo............it should not be a defense, at all!. Yaani "out of sight does it necessarily mean out of mind of the reality at hand?"

Naona wewe ndio umebaki mkia kwa sababu kipimo chako ni Kenya.

What a sigh of relief to read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AM very pleased that the are a few of us who can peek beyond vain propaganda and utopia.

Your school of knowledge is flawed, and on top of that you do not have any shred of evidence ndio tunasema ulimbukeni.

It is February now what happen to this common visa for Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda (COW)? when is this shit launched :dance:?

 

[NairobiWalker]

Kudos for knowing tanzanians biggest problem, u are good.

Tofautisha risk taking na suspicious mkuu, suspicious in business is inevitable, if u suspect unfair distribution of doo from yo business partner u'll obvious pull out, isn't it?

That is what mr sita suspected, na katoa sababu hapo.

You can't stop doing business because you're suspicious, that's stupidity....... when you're suspicious, Fanya biz lakini kuwa mjanja boss.

Use of ID and Single Tourist Visa came into force on January 1, 2014 just a few unprecedented logistical issues being taken of, but the EAC moment is here. Tz might come running after weighing options in her "wait-and-see-attitude". It's well understood your administration is trying hard to protect its citizen from the cut throat Kenyan competition (we are damn good and ferocious), but modern business engagements are more outward-bound. We need each more.
Meanwhile, this is is happening Kenya Ports Authority expands to Burundi - Business - nation.co.ke
The Kenya Ports Authority has increased its presence in the region by opening a new office in Bujumbura, which will be a key operational centre in the area's hinterland.

In tourist industry TZ we're everything. We're leading in tourist attraction in east and central Africa. Then what's ur worries about their plan? Plz b proud of urself first. Serengeti, mt kill are dreams of all tourists. Let us stand alone, n' I'm sure we're the winning side in this plan but they're trying mission impossible. They will never succeed my fellow untrusted rutashubanyuma
