Tanzania to Host ATA's 33rd Annual Congress in Arusha, 19-23 May 2008
ATA Ccngress Notice - ATA 33RD CONGRESS BROCHURE - REGISTRATION FORMS
The Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism and the Africa Travel Association (ATA) announced that Tanzania will host the Africa Travel Association's 33rd Annual Congress from 19-23 May 2008 in Arusha, the country's "Safari Capital."

ATA has significant ties to Tanzania. In May 1998, ATA held its first-ever Congress in Arusha; and in December 2003, Zanzibar hosted ATA's Eco and Cultural Tourism Symposium. Tanzania also led the association for four years, holding the position of President of the ATA International Board of Directors. More->

Luxury Hotels and Lodges Expand
FAIRMONT KENYA EXPANDS TO ZANZIBAR
By Prof. Wolfgang Thome. The Kingdom Hotels owned brand, which some time ago acquired Lonrho Hotels in Kenya (Norfolk Hotel, Mt. Kenya Safari Club, Aberdare Country Club, Ark, Mara Safari Club) has now spread its wings to Zanzibar, where they reportedly acquired the former Zanzibar Beach Resort. The renovation of the formerly closed resort is said to cost in excess of US Dollars 10 Million before reopening as the Fairmont Zanzibar. It is the first beach resort for the group but notably not in Kenya but Zanzibar, probably a pointer to further expansion plans for the region. In Uganda however the group has not commenced construction of their hotel project in Kampala, after being given a somewhat controversial land grant in the city, which forced a primary school and teachers college to relocate. After the school was demolished, the proposed construction area is now a sorry sight to behold. Government had hoped that Kingdom Hotels would have their promised 5 star hotel ready for the Commonwealth Summit later this year but may now have to wait much longer, as the hotel capacity in Kampala is considered rather on the excess side of supplies, once the one off summit is over.

Kempinski Hotels, the second serious global luxury hotel and resort group in the region after Fairmont, are also said to be monitoring the market carefully while exploring opportunities to further expand into the region beyond their present two properties in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. Watch this space for emerging news.
