Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) and National Aviation Services (NAS), the fastest growing aviation services provider in emerging markets, have signed an agreement which will see the company promote various tourist attractions in the East African country.
As part of the agreement tourists who will rest in lounges that are operated by NAS will receive information on Tanzania tourism sites.
"NAS company will promote the country's tourists' attractions at 40 different destinations where it operates in East Africa, Asia and Middle East," said NAS DAR AIRCO board chairperson Costa Mahalu.
NAS operates at three different airports in Tanzania.
It also carries ground handling work for regional and international airlines such as Air Tanzania, Fly Dubai, Air France-KLM, Precision Air, Ethiopian Airlines and Rwanda Air.
Tourism earned the country $2.43 billion in revenue in 2018 compared with $2.19 billion in 2017, according to data released by Tanzania’s Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa last April.
Tanzania’s tourism sector is expected to contribute 18.3% to the country’s GDP by 2020.
