zanzibar welcomes you all
The tourism industry is no doubt aware that Zanzibar has not been supplied with mains electricity power since before Christmas. This is due to a fault on the power cable line between the island of Zanzibar and the mainland, which is being rectified, with normal power expected to resume mid February.
In the meantime we would like to assure operators and visitors to Zanzibar that the island is well equipped to deal with this temporary situation as power outages are commonplace and generator backup is provided in all hotels and resorts.
Therefore all services including tourism, communication and transportation continue to function with no significant or noticeable disruption. In addition to this, ZATI would like to assure all visitors heading to Zanzibar for Sauti za Busara Music Festival commencing 11th of February that Zanzibar Commission for Tourism, and Zanzibar Association Tourism Investors, are both giving a clear message that Zanzibar is open for “business as usual”
We are confident that Zanzibar is safe for visitors. The longer the power outage has gone on, the more Zanzibaris have been getting back to “business as usual”. All hotels, restaurants and businesses in Zanzibar Town are open and many streets have lighting. Local people are preferring to go out in the evenings – especially in the area of night food market at Forodhani Gardens. All indications are that our local and perhaps regional audiences shall be greater than ever.
The island of Zanzibar welcomes visitors and continues to be the same peaceful and secure environment that we are proud to be part of. Thank you for continuing to support us. We will issue an update as soon as mains power is back on line.
On behalf of
Zanzibar Association of Tourism Investors
