National Tourism Master Plan for Zimbabwe

Associated funding, associated experts, description.

Description Zimbabwe has been at the forefront of Southern African tourism for decades, with such iconic destinations as Victoria Falls being most visible. The country has been regarded as a 'must see' on the Southern African circuit, for international tourists, a highly regarded destination for Regional leisure and business travel and an excellent domestic holiday destination. However, the above potential is still under-developed. Although tourist arrivals experienced a slight increase of 2.6% in 2014, Zimbabwe is still 60% lower in terms overseas market compared to 1999, the best year were overseas arrivals almost hit 600,000. In this context, the Africa Development Bank is supporting the Government in reducing youth unemployment and increasing tourism revenues through the Youth and Tourism Enhancement Project. The overall objective of this consultancy was to assist the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry to develop a clear and concise National Tourism Master Plan that will act as the overarching guide to the development of Tourism in Zimbabwe by providing direction to product development and diversification, spatial organization of tourism, infrastructure development, manpower development, community participation, preservation of nature, culture and heritage and marketing and promotion strategies.

First national Tourism Satellite Account Launched in Zimbabwe

  • 31 Mar 2022

UNWTO has partnered with the Ministry of Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry (MECTHI) of Zimbabwe to launch the country’s first National Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) today.

UNWTO FITUR

The Account shows the size and significance of the tourism sector for the Zimbabwean economy, based on the last available pre-COVID-19 data and on data gathered before the formal transition of national currency from US dollar into the Zimbabwean Dollar. The TSA revealed that tourism accounted for 4.25% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with a value of USD1.03 billion in 2018. In 2019 the sector accounted for 6.3% of GDP with a value of USD1.23 billion. At the same time, the data also shows that tourism accounted for 1.56% of national employment levels in 2018, with around 100 000 jobs supported and created.  

The TSA was produced as part of the Zimbabwe Destination Development Program , a technical assistance program supported by International Finance Corporation (IFC).  As well as recording the number of tourists visiting the country, the initiative also provides monetary and non-monetary tourism data related to demand and supply and measures the value of expenditure on goods and services across all types of tourism as well as the value of tourism-sector industries producing goods and/or services. It will be used for quantifying tourism’s contribution to GDP and national employment rates.

Data for tourism’s restart and recovery

Tourism in Zimbabwe has been significantly impacted by the pandemic, with the introduction of travel restrictions and lower demand from tourists leading to a massive fall in visitors. The loss to the national economy is estimated at USD690m. According to the IFC’s Country Manager, Adamou Labara said, ‘these empirical findings highlight the opportunity for policymakers in Zimbabwe to support recovery of the tourism sector through stimulating traveller demand, and responsibly reducing barriers to entry’.

By addressing information gaps and supporting a data-driven approach to policy development and investment decisions , the TSA should prove particularly relevant to Zimbabwe’s tourism sector as it works towards sustainable recovery and growth from the impacts of the pandemic. The development of the TSA is one of the key milestone projects for the tourism sector under the National Development Strategy (NDS1 2021-2025).

Project Description

Zimbabwe has been at the forefront of Southern African tourism for decades, with such iconic destinations as Victoria Falls being most visible. The country has been regarded as a ‘must see’ on the Southern African circuit, for international tourists, a highly regarded destination for Regional leisure and business travel and an excellent domestic holiday destination. Other destinations, such as Lake Kariba, Mana Pools, Monomotapa, Great Zimbabwe and Hwange National Park have been, almost, legendary for international and Southern African regional tourism and destinations of choice for domestic tourism – for decades back to the 1960s. However, the above potential is still under-developed. Although tourist arrivals experienced a slight increase of 2.6% in 2014, Zimbabwe is still 60% lower in terms overseas market compared to 1999, the best year were overseas arrivals almost hit 600,000. If Zimbabwe is to develop an effective and efficient tourism industry, those challenges currently hindering the country’s tourism development have to be addressed. A number of issues have been outlined by recent study papers. Amongst others, weakness of the framework for investment in the tourism sector, unfavourable international image of the country, strong regional competition, nature and conservation pressures, limited skilled tourism labour force and infrastructure gaps. In this context, the Africa Development Bank has supported the Government in reducing youth unemployment and increasing tourism revenues through the Youth and Tourism Enhancement Project. The overall objective of this consultancy was to assist the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry to develop a clear and concise National Tourism Master Plan that will act as the overarching guide to the development of Tourism in Zimbabwe by providing direction to product development and diversification, infrastructure development, manpower development, community participation, preservation of nature, culture and heritage and marketing and promotion strategies. The study area includes a number of sites listed by UNESCO in the World Heritage List: “Mana Pools National Park, Sapi and Chewore Safari Areas”, “Great Zimbabwe National Monument”, “Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls”, “Matobo Hills”.

Scope of Services

Inventory and assessment of tourism resources, preparation of the National Tourism Master Plan and of Tourism Development Zones Plans, support for the organisation of an Investors’ Forum.

The impact of Zimbabwe Tourism Authority initiatives on tourist arrival in Zimbabwe (2008-2009)

Profile image of Felex Tafirei

2011, Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa

Zimbabwe faced a decline in tourist arrivals in 2008 due to political instability, economic recession and negative media publicity. In 2009, a Government of National Unity (GNU) was formed and a multi currency system was introduced. This study analyses the impact of Zimbabwe Tourism Authority initiatives on tourist arrivals for the period 2008 to 2009. Fifty questionnaires were distributed to a sample of six stratified tourism stakeholders, including the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. Secondary data analysis complimented the questionnaires. The study found out that tourist arrivals declined in Zimbabwe during the period 2008 and ZTA initiatives did not have much impact on tourist arrivals during that period. Initiatives by ZTA had a positive impact on arrival of tourists in Zimbabwe in 2009 after the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and introduction of a multi currency system.

The tourism industry in Zimbabwe has experienced fluctuating trends in its growth since the dawn of the new millennium. The Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry undertook a visitor exit survey in 2015/2016 period. One of the objectives of the survey was to assess the visitor perceptions of Zimbabwe as a competitive tourist destination. Questionnaires were administered to 34000departing visitors at the country’s three international airports and the border posts during the period July 2015 and June 2016. The results of the survey indicated that there were no significant changes in visitor perceptions of the country before and after visiting Zimbabwe. It further showed that the main factors that contributed to negative visitor perception of the country included high prices, harassment by the police, poor facilities, poor infrastructure and poor quality service delivery. It is recommended that the private sector revisit its pricing model and that the government seriously conside...

Nelson Zengeni

Zimbabwe is not competing favorably against its competitors (Zengeni & Zengeni, 2012) and the World Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (2013 Report) ranked the country a lowly 118th out of 140 surveyed countries. In Zimbabwe, the tourism industry is regulated mainly through the Tourism Act [Chapter 14:20] of 1996 and indirectly through such other laws as liquor licensing, safety and health, environmental protection, tax, investment, aviation and transport, land-use and labor laws, among others. Despite the importance of tourism, the sector has been operating without a guiding policy framework. Development of the industry was premised on the concept of low volume high yield tourism which was not backed by any concrete policy framework. The inconsistence and irregularities of the policy framework has resulted in declining tourist arrivals and potential tourism investors shunning the destination. These regulations and policies have serious ramifications on destination competitiveness mostly through increasing the cost of doing business as well as denting or strengthening a destination’s image. The understanding of tourism policy’s impact on destination competitiveness is of interest to both industry and policy makers (Ritchie & Crouch, 2000). “Supply side issues must be given a heightened importance in shaping the future of tourism to ensure ........competitiveness.....” (L.E.K Consulting, 2011). This study sought to explore stakeholders’ perceptions towards the contribution of Zimbabwe’s Tourism Policy document to destination competitiveness of Zimbabwe. Findings indicated that the tourism policy framework can take the destination to dizzy heights of competitiveness only if government commits more political will to tourism issues. The policy document is very good but lack of commitment and implementation by the government may result in continued poor performance of destination Zimbabwe. Key words: tourism, tourism policy, destination competitiveness

This study examined system-wide implications of an Approved Destination Status (ADS) granted to Zimbabwe by China in 2004 on Zimbabwe`s tourism industry. A total of 150 self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. The study revealed a disproportionate increase of tourism traffic from the Chinese market and revenue inflows which have largely remained depressed. Findings further highlighted that Chinese`s low spending patterns, inaccessibility of the country, and a highly volatile political environment have undermined the ADS. The ADS dispensation has presented local operators with a dilemma on the way forward, hence a shift in marketing strategy, re-configuration of the pricing regime, and improved air connectivity are necessary.

This study is a post 2010 evaluation of Zimbabwe as a preferred tourism destination. The post 2010 timeline was deliberately chosen since it was believed to be a watershed period or game changer in Zimbabwès tourism landscape following the successful hosting of the Fifa 2010 world cup by South Africa which isZimbabwès major economic trading partner. The hosting of the prestigious soccer extravaganza by South Africa was speculated to reconfigure the architecture ofZimbabwès tourism sector that had been in a comatose for close to a decade. The study established that the post 2010 period is a landmark as it marked the somewhat thawing of political and economic relations between Zimbabwe and western countries following the consummation of the inclusive government that stabilised the economy. The tourism sector was speculated to have been given a new lease of life riding on the perceived spin-offs from South Africa, warming of the international community to Zimbabwe, and the dollarization of the economy. A dozen variables were used as anchor elements against which Zimbabwe was evaluated. A questionnaire survey was used on 80 hotels, 60 tour operators, 20 key informants, and 50 international tourists at Great Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls. Results confirm that Zimbabwe indeed has raised the bar higher as a preferred tourist destination relative to other southern Africa countries as attested to by playing host to the UNWTO`s General Assembly and ATA congress, and also being the recipient of the tourism award from the European Tourism Council. On the flip-side, visa and pricing regimes are still frowned upon; however, there is huge potential for the country to do better.

The demand for tourism in Masvingo Province (Zimbabwe) is influenced by various factors which are discussed in this paper. The article seeks to examine these factors with a view to providing recommendations for increased tourism demand for the province. Since tourism is regarded as a low hanging fruit in Zimbabwe, these recommendations are quite significant. Broadly two main factors influence tourism in a country. They include economic and social-psychological factors. Economic factors include: disposable income, gross national product per capita (GNP), private consumption, cost of living, tourism prices/costs, costs of living of destinations, exchange rate differentials, relative prices among competing destinations, promotional expenditure, marketing effectiveness and physical distance. On the other hand, the social-psychological factors include: demographic, motivational, travel preferences, benefits sought, images of destinations awareness of opportunities, cognitive distances, a...

This study sought to gain insights into international tourists‘ experiences of, and satisfaction with, Zimbabwe tourism offerings. The study emanates from the standpoint that, for tourism to enhance its potential to transform economies and livelihoods, the focus for development, in that regard, must be directed towards increasing the number of travellers to destinations, creating memorable experiences, and ensuring that the service quality is satisfactory, based on their expectations and perceptions. The study‘s objective was achieved through the use of a questionnaire survey, with the data obtained being presented in tables from the highest to the lowest mean scores. The satisfaction of the tourism offerings was negative, in which the highest mean score was Attitude of the personnel/service providers (M=2.73), and the lowest mean score was Road network to/from points of entry, prominent attractions and other amenities (M=1.58). The respondents viewed all the given tourism offerings...
