Budapest is a classical European capital committed to the digital future — the perfect stage for this year’s celebration of tourism. Tourism and the Digital Transformation is the theme of this year’s World Tourism Day (#WTD2018). UNWTO is delighted to partner with the Hungarian Tourism Agency and the Foreign Affairs and International Trade ministry to hold the official celebration of World Tourism Day 2018 in Budapest Digitally-advanced tourism sector can im- prove entrepreneurship, inclusion, local com- munity empowerment and efficient resource management, amongst other important devel- opment objectives. This year’s WTD will help to further explore opportunities provided to tourism by techno- logical advances including big data, artificial intelligence and digital platforms. In June 2018, in anticipation of WTD and to give visibility to innovative ideas capable of revolutionising the way we travel and en- joy tourism, the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) and Globalia launched the 1st UN- WTO Tourism Startup Competition. The start-ups with the best projects will be announced as semi-finalists during the WTD official celebration in Budapest. Today, people and businesses connect, ex- change information and execute transactions in ways never before imagined. The combination of digital platforms, user- generated content and feedback, social media integration, global positioning services, and the use of big data and artificial intelligence, has transformed the way people experience, consume and share information. This is the result of successive advances in telecommunications, computers, databases, networks, Internet, mobile and wireless tech- nology, global positioning systems and smart- phones, amongst other things. Tourism, as one of the world’s transversal economic sectors, has been both witness to and protagonist of these changes. For both public and private tourism entities, ICT has offered indispensable and very pow- erful tools for management, logistics, distribu- tion and marketing. It has brought about a digital tourist that is more autonomous, hyper-connected and in- creasingly demanding, expecting personalised customer service. Shifts in customer expectations and glob- al trends are compelling the tourism sector to adapt business and operating models in search of enhanced customer satisfaction and operational performance. This is creating opportunities for new en- trants into the tourism value chain, especially digital ‘natives’ like online travel aggregators. At the same time, private platform tourism services (the so-called sharing economy) are on the rise. While the tourism sector has been at the forefront of digital disruption, exponential technological change means that the sector must innovate, and stakeholders must collabo- S2 NewsDay | Thursday September 27 2018 TOURISM DAY SUPPLEMENT Guests enjoying the Vulture Culture Experience at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge Charlene Hewat and the Victoria Falls Recycling team at work Victoria Falls anti-poaching unit scouts on patrol around Victoria Falls Park Sustainable tourism is the way to go INCE Africa Albida Tour- birds. ism (AAT)’s beginnings a It also enables their numbers to quarter of a century ago, be monitored and raise awareness the Zimbabwean hospital- of their plight. ity group has embraced Vulture populations are dwin- Ssustainable tourism, striving to en- dling due to a variety of human- sure that the impact of its opera- created issues, including electro- tions on the local environment, cul- cution by power lines.

NewsDay Thursday September 27 2018 S3 Harare sets eyes on growing traffic to its tourist attractions BY VANESSA GONYE HE City of Harare is focusing on increasing visits to its various attractions dotted around the city with the aim Tof increasing revenue so that they are able to offer 75% customer satisfaction in service delivery by 2020. Speaking to NewsDay, council spokesperson Michael Chideme said the city has a lot of attractions for tourism, which include parks, hotels, restaurants and vibrant night life, among others. “Harare city is tourism. In that we mean we have a lot of attractions for tourism which are very good for sight-seeing; we have hotels, restaurants, game parks, good music, vibrant night life among other things and we also have historic build- ings like Mai Musodzi Hall and Stodart Hall, both in Mbare,” he said. Mai Musodzi and Stodart halls are historical monuments and they both played a significant role in the country’s liber- ation struggle. Sunshine City Mai Musodzi Hall was named after Elizabeth Maria Musod- zi Ayema, who was Mbuya Nehanda’s niece. She was known as Amai in Mbare, due to her outstanding contribution in sup- porting the plight of women and nationalist politics in the World Tourism Day 2018 country after relocating to the populous suburb. Her role in charity and women’s emancipation made her contribution to the struggle and the city an unforgettable one, hence the importance placed on the hall which carries a lot of memories for the development of the city. Stodart Hall is where, on July 20 1960, youths bravely fought back a cordon of Rhodesian police officers,

  • Zimbabwe's Reforms: an Exercise in Credibility
    ISSUE 6 | SEPTEMBER 2016 Southern Africa Report Zimbabwe’s reforms An exercise in credibility – or pretence? Piers Pigou Summary Zimbabwe is again facing major political and economic challenges. Prospects for recovery under the leadership of 92-year-old Robert Mugabe and his chief lieutenants in the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front are looking increasingly bleak. The government has publically committed itself to a reform process that is intended to help reconnect to international channels of credit and investment and an underlying confidence in the country’s potential to bounce back remains. The international community supports these endeavours, but convictions are being tested as headway is stymied by a combination of internal and external exigencies that have exposed the limitations of a political leadership desperate to maintain its hegemony, but clearly running out of options. THE ZIMBABWEAN GOVERNMENT claims commitment to a reform agenda that its adherents believe will underwrite its recovery. Yet it faces an increasingly uncertain future, unable to implement this agenda, buffeted by a host of internal and external exigencies. It appears on course for yet another disputed election in 2018. Since its controversial victory in the 2013 polls, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and its leader, 92-year-old Robert Mugabe, have presided over an economic decline that has again brought the country to its collective knees, exacerbating unprecedented turmoil within the ruling party and prospects of further state disintegration. Prospects for recovery that had improved during the government of national unity (2009–2013) have narrowed considerably as social and economic conditions worsen, political uncertainties intensify and the state limps from month to month as finances dry up.

Zimbabwe, a country plagued by rampant corruption for decades, has taken its war on corruption to new levels, and Justice Moyo is leading the charge. Just over a month into her new role as chairperson of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), Justice Moyo isn’t pulling her punches, with the arrests of former Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko and the Minister of Environment, Tourism and Hospitality, Prisca Mupfumira. Despite being in the president’s cabinet, Mupfumira found her ministerial position mattered little as she was dragged to court on corruption charges involving $95 million from the state pension fund. Mupfumira faces charges of “criminal abuse of duty as a public officer”. Charges include the taking of unauthorized loans from the pension fund to buy a luxury vehicle and to fund her political campaign. But Justice Moyo was not satisfied with merely the arrest of the minister.

  • AFRICA RISK CONSULTING Zimbabwe Monthly Briefing December 2020 Zimbabwe Summary 10 December 2020 Governance Ranking Improves
    AFRICA RISK CONSULTING Zimbabwe Monthly Briefing December 2020 Zimbabwe Summary 10 December 2020 President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s (2017-present) administration continues to falter on its anti-corruption promises despite an improved ranking in the Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG). Finance minister Mthuli NcuBe announces the 2021 National Budget and five-year National Development Strategy. ZimBabwe’s industrialisation drive leans towards Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) approaches and investment partnerships. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to undermine prospects for economic recovery. Governance ranking improves amid continuing anti-corruption efforts President Emmerson Mnangagwa (2017-present) has declared that Zimbabwe is “on the brink of greatness”, based on the country’s ranking in the Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) as one of the five most improved governance systems in Africa during the last decade (2010-2019). With an overall score of 46%, and +7.4 improvement, the IIAG currently rates Zimbabwe 33rd out of Africa’s 54 countries.1 However, corruption continues to undermine Zimbabwe’s economic development, stifling the rule of law and impeding good governance. During the launch of the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) Strategic Plan (2021 to 2025) on 2 December, Mnangagwa noted that the JSC has a critical role to play in Zimbabwe’s fight against corruption in accelerating the conclusion of corruption cases. Mnangagwa said the JSC will contribute towards the state’s aim to “pursue a development agenda anchored on strong, responsive and transparent institutions”.2 Chief Justice Luke Malaba said: “The commission seeks to develop an independent, financially autonomous and sustainable, modern and efficient judiciary that is enthusiastically accountable to the public in its pursuit of a society in which the rule of law prevails.”3 Sceptics, however, claim the judicial system is an enabler of state-linked corruption.

    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 04/02/2020 3:15:55 PM The New Zimbabwe Zimbabwe's March Toward Reforms Since his election in 2018, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his administration have been working diligently to achieve progress on a number of political, land, economic, and human rights reforms. While the pace and scope of reforms has been criticized by the U.S. officials and other international stakeholders, the positive steps the Mnangagwa administration have taken should not be overlooked. Thus far, the Zimbabwean government has signed into law: • The Land Commission Act to reform property ownership practices and dispense compensation to white farmers whose land was appropriated by the Mugabe regime at the turn of the 21st century • The Maintenance of Peace and Order Act (MOPA) to replace the Mugabe era Public Order and Security Act (POSA) • The Gender Commission Act to promote gender equality • The International Treaties Bill to expedite Zimbabwe's compliance with international law • The National Peace and Reconciliation Act to address previous human rights abuses • The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, created to be an independent human rights institution devoted to upholding the enforcement of human rights • Approximately 20 new bills that align Zimbabwe's laws to the constitution Legislation to address other key changes suggested in ZDERA has also been proposed and is currently passing through the parliamentary system. Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) President Mnangagwa has appointed an independent Head Commissioner to lead the revived and empowered Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC). He not only appointed a team with a history of fighting corruption, but also gave ZACC broad and deep investigative and arrest authority.
