Victoria Falls is Zimbabwe’s tourism capital and the hub of leisure and travel in Southern Africa especially in the Kavango-Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation Area. The city is host to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a heritage site across the Zambezi River, with vast wildlife species including the Big Five.
Tourists visiting most Southern African countries usually visit Victoria Falls to experience the natural beauty of the destination. Speaking at the 3rd session of the Zimbabwe-Botswana Bi-National Commission (BNC) ministerial meeting here, Minister Kwape who co-chairs the 3rd session of the BNC, said the city status is an important milestone for tourism.
He commended the warm hospitality extended to him and his delegation in Victoria Falls.
“I want to congratulate Victoria Falls municipality for acquiring the prestigious city status in December 2020.
“The description by the State Minister was quite apt of Victoria Falls as it is indeed one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and heritages sites,” he said.
“I am convinced this status will enhance the city’s competitiveness on the tourism side. On the part of bungee jumping, I and honourable ministers accept the challenge,” said Minister Kwape drawing laughter from the delegates.
