TATO’s Statement on the Tanzania Travel Advisory
The Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) welcomes and supports the Ministry’s Tanzania Travel Advisory, commending the government for its swift and effective measures in restoring public confidence.
As the umbrella body representing licensed tour operators across Tanzania, TATO acknowledges the government’s decisive actions in ensuring safety and stability, which are vital for sustaining the tourism industry – a sector contributing over 17% to the national GDP and generating more than USD 3.9 billion in annual foreign exchange earnings.
TATO Executive Director Mr. Elirehema Maturo expressed appreciation for the government’s efforts, noting that, “This timely Tanzania Travel Advisory sends a strong message to the international community that Tanzania remains a safe and reliable destination. We encourage our partners, investors, and visitors to continue exploring and investing in the beauty of our nation.”
TATO members continue to collaborate with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB), the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), and other agencies to promote confidence among travelers and maintain high operational standards.
Tourism as a Pillar of Peace and Prosperity
Tourism has long been a bridge for cultural exchange and national development in Tanzania. Beyond its economic contribution, the sector promotes community empowerment, conservation, and international goodwill.
The government’s reaffirmation through the Tanzania Travel Advisory underscores that tourism remains central to Tanzania’s vision for sustainable growth. By assuring global travelers of safety and operational normalcy, the Ministry reinforces the country’s position as a leader in African tourism resilience and recovery.
TATO continues to advocate for responsible tourism that benefits both visitors and host communities, ensuring that tourism growth aligns with conservation and national stability.
The Road Ahead: Restoring Traveler Confidence
The Tanzania Travel Advisory not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also lays a foundation for renewed growth in international arrivals. Following a record-breaking performance in 2024 – when Tanzania hosted over 2.1 million international and 3.2 million domestic tourists – the outlook for 2026 remains highly promising.
TATO urges global tour operators, travel agents, and media outlets to share this advisory widely, helping to counter misinformation and reinforce confidence in Tanzania as a dependable destination.
Collaborative efforts between government bodies and private-sector stakeholders like TATO are essential to sustaining this momentum. Through continuous engagement, capacity building, and proactive communication, Tanzania’s tourism ecosystem is well positioned to achieve even greater milestones.
Final Remarks
The Tanzania Travel Advisory issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism is both a reassurance and a reaffirmation – that Tanzania remains peaceful, stable, and ready to welcome the world.
From its iconic national parks and cultural heritage sites to its warm and hospitable people, Tanzania continues to represent the very best of Africa.
TATO applauds the Ministry’s leadership and encourages all tourism stakeholders, partners, and visitors to stand united in promoting Tanzania’s image as a safe, responsible, and unforgettable destination.
