Zambia is doubling its marketing budget to support tourism, after the government recognised it as a priority sector.
Sharing the news with TTG, Zambia Tourism Agency’s chief executive Matongo Matamwandi confirmed that key source markets, including the UK, Europe and the US, would get 70% of the budget, with the rest going towards China, India and Gulf Cooperation Council countries. He declined to reference the size of the budget but confirmed it was a “drastic increase”.
