4,200 Visited Victoria Falls Over Holidays

Some 4,268 tourists visited Victoria Falls over the Heores and Unity holidays last week - the highest figure ever recorded. 

Livingstone Tourism Association Board Chair Rodney Sikumba said Sunday saw 1,948 visitors, with 1,639 on Monday. 

“We the Livingstone Tourism Association would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the people of Zambia that chose Livingstone as the No.1 Holiday Destination over the just-ended Heroes and Unity holiday period,” Mr Sikumba said.

He added that the influx of local tourists is a clear indication that the Zambian tourism sector can survive the challenging circumstances of Covid-19 with the support of fellow Zambians. 

“Indeed, this period has shown that Zambians are resolved to keep the economy and the tourism sector afloat and enhance its resilience for sustained job creation and economic development, and as such, as LTA, we shall continue to incentivize local tourism through reasonable pricing for enhanced access to tourism services and further invest in the development of additional tourism products for all to enjoy,” Sikumba said.
