The government has reassured international travelers and tourism stakeholders that peace and stability have been fully restored across Tanzania, affirming that all tourism and economic activities are operating normally.
In an official travel advisory issued today, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism said security agencies had swiftly contained recent post-election disturbances, and that the country remains open, safe and ready to receive visitors.
The ministry emphasized that airports, border posts, seaports and railway stations are functioning without interruption. Hotels, national parks, tour operators and transport services across the country are also operating as usual.
“Tanzania continues to uphold international standards to ensure the safety and well-being of all travelers,” said Nteghenjwa Hosseah, Head of the Government Communication Unit in the ministry. “All entry and exit points by air, land, sea and rail remain fully operational, and tourism services continue without disruption.”
The advisory also noted Tanzania’s continued commitment as a member of the United Nations Tourism Organization (UN Tourism), highlighting the country’s longstanding reputation as one of Africa’s most stable travel destinations.
The statement comes at a time when the tourism sector — one of the country’s major contributors to GDP and employment — is preparing for the high travel season.
Industry players have welcomed the government’s message, saying clarity is key to maintaining visitor confidence and avoiding cancellations.
“We appreciate this timely reassurance,” said a senior representative of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) in Arusha. “What visitors need most is accurate information. Tanzania remains safe, and our destinations are fully open.”
Tourism accounts for more than a quarter of Tanzania’s foreign exchange earnings and supports millions of jobs directly and indirectly.
Key attractions include Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Zanzibar’s historic coastline and a network of wildlife-rich reserves.
Authorities encouraged travelers to continue with their planned visits, saying Tanzania remains “a peaceful, stable and welcoming destination for tourism, business and investment.”
