Why the Zambezi River is a Must-Visit Destination for Tourists
The Great Zambezi River, stretching from Zambia to Mozambique and into the Indian Ocean, is a must-visit destination for tourists. Not only is it a beautiful natural wonder, but it also plays a significant role in fostering growth of most economies of countries within the Zambezi River basin in Southern Africa. As noted by KAMAYOYO Kelvin, a Zambian economist and scholar, who is also BuyZed Chief Technical Advisor, the river serves as an anchor for tourism and positively impacts the lives of both humans and wildlife along its journey. It is truly a remarkable sight to see and experience.
The Zambezi River is not only a breathtaking natural wonder, but it also has the potential to boost the local economy and create decent jobs for nearby communities. By conserving and harnessing the river’s resources, such as wildlife, fisheries, livestock and agriculture, the surrounding areas can experience an increase in production and economic growth. It is, therefore, important to support these communities and help them reach their full potential while preserving the beauty of the Zambezi River for future generations to enjoy.
The Zambezi River is a destination of choice that should not be missed by tourists. Not only is it a breathtaking sight to see the mighty Victoria Falls, but it also plays a vital role in nourishing the surrounding ecosystem. To ensure the preservation of this natural wonder, the “African Rivers Matter: 2023 and Beyond Campaign” aims to scale up action for protecting all African rivers, lakes, streams, waterfalls and tributaries for sustainable conservation of the freshwater ecosystems. Let’s work together to conserve the Zambezi River and all the natural wonders it supports.
