The Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism is proud to inform you that, the 65th UNWTO –CAF meeting scheduled to be hosted by The United Republic of Tanzania from 5th to 7th of October 2022 is one of the Strategic events geared to promote and develop the Tanzania – Royal Tour Program initiated by Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania.

Chana has assured the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) of the country’s readiness to host the Organisation’s Commission for Africa (CAF) Meeting in Arusha under the theme: “Rebuilding Africa’s Tourism Resilience for Inclusive Socio-Economic Development”.

During her official tour to Oman this year, Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan rekindled the long existing historical and rich heritage relations between Tanzania and the Sultanate of Oman. Tanzania and Oman are now looking for a brighter future after almost 200 years of historical links with a heritage that is now attracting thousands of tourists to visit mainland Tanzania and mostly Zanzibar Island, famous for its heritage sites with roots from Oman. The historical ties between Oman and Tanzania had partly changed during the German and British colonization of Tanzania, then the January 1964 revolution of Zanzibar ended the influence of Oman in Zanzibar and partly the Indian Ocean’s coast of Tanzania.
