The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority in line with supporting ‘the Girl Child’ and promoting sports tourism, sponsored the Zimbabwe Senior Netball Team, ‘The Gems’ who qualified for the Netball World Cup for the first time after winning all their key matches in Lusaka, Zambia.
Speaking at the handover ceremony held at the Stodart Hall Netball Complex training grounds on Wednesday, the ZTA Acting Chief Executive, Mrs Rita Likukuma said “There is a growing interest and prioritization of the tourism industry across Africa, because countries have realized the immense, yet untapped tourism possibilities that exist on the continent. Sports tourism is one of them and we as ZTA are delighted to be associated with the Gems and they are Tourism Ambassadors, who will talk about Zimbabwe. We wish them luck as they represent Zimbabwe and hope they will bring the World Cup home.”
