Tanzania set a new tourism record in 2024, welcoming 5.36 million visitors and surpassing its target of attracting five million tourists by 2025, according to Pindi Chana, the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism.
Speaking at a stakeholder meeting in Dar es Salaam, Chana highlighted that, out of the total number of tourists, 3.22 million were domestic travellers, while 2.14 million were international visitors.
The tourism sector generated approximately Sh516.7 billion ($4 billion) in revenue, though it fell short of the government’s ambitious goal of Sh775.1 billion ($6 billion) by December 2025.
