Date: 12 Aug 16
July 2016: KTF continues regular engagement with the diplomatic missions representing our key source markets, in particular Europe and North America. This is aimed at establishing meaningful engagement and stakeholder consultation to mitigate or tone down negative advisories against travel to parts of the country affected by security incidents, and to explore opportunities for collaboration on improving tourism security e.g. technical support such as security training for industry personnel.
Chairperson Lucy Karume met with US Embassy Economic Specialist Alex Kagiri on 28th July where the meeting discussed at length the role of KTF Safety Communication Centre (KTF-SCC) and its contribution to the low number of tourist security incidents in the country, and opportunities for collaboration. |
