The Ministry of Tourism and Natural Resources, Acting
Director of Tourism, Dr Thereza Mugobi, said that one cannot currently discuss
tourism without mentioning digital items hence the ministry chose to keep up
with global technological advancements to showcase its various activities and
services.
"At our booths, Tanzanians will be able to see our
tourism through their smartphones," Dr Mugobi explained after touring the
ministry's pavilion:
"We have a QR code on every pavilion that the visitors
will scan to find and learn more about the attractions that exist throughout
the country and services provided by our institutions."
At the exhibition, the ministry is fully equipped to assist
all individuals who arrive at the pavilion more swiftly with the modern method,
unlike in the past when numerous pieces of information were provided in fliers
and brochures, which were an annoyance to some visitors.
On the other hand, one of the visitors, Mr Luca Hakili of
Dar es Salaam, despite being excited with the service provided by various
institutions under the ministry, has congratulated the effectiveness of those
institutions in promoting the natural resources that exist in the country in a
modern style.
According to him, it has been an important opportunity to
know the resources available in the country and the opportunities available in
tourism, forestry, wildlife, cultural heritage, and other Institutions.
Along with other things, in the ministry pavilion, the
visitors had the chance to watch the "Tanzania Royal Tour" film,
starred by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
