TANZANIA (eTN) – Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete has named his former Ambassador to the United States of America and a prominent lawyer, Mwanaidi Maajar, as the new head of the Board of Directors of the famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania.
After her appointment to Chair the Board of Directors of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, one among the leading natural tourist attractive sites in Africa, Ms. Mwanaidi Maajar joined other nature conservation policymakers on Monday this week.
Tanzania Minister for Tourism Lazaro Nyalandu flagged off the new board whose major task is to advise the government of Tanzania on the best practices in conservation of nature in the area, development of tourism, and management of the conservation area as well.
Best known among prominent lawyers in Africa, Ms. Maajar, during her official tour of duty in Washington, DC, has designed and tailored a “Discover Tanzania VIP Safari” for a small group of business executives from the United States to visit Tanzania every year.
The annual Discover Tanzania VIP Safari has been organized, guided, and led by Ambassador Maajar herself, aimed at exposing Tanzania’s tourism and investment opportunities before American tourists and investors.
Tanzania VIP Safari targets a section of prominent American business executives, hoping to attract and encourage them to visit Tanzania as tourists and invest their monies in tourism and other economic ventures.
The United States represents the largest single tourism market for Tanzania, attracting a record high of 58,379 visitors, taking over from the traditional place held by the UK market. Combined with Canada, the number of visitors from North America reached 83,930 in recent years.
Ngorongoro is one among Tanzania’s leading attractive sites pulling American tourists, and has been named a New Seven Natural Wonder of Africa, supporting the greatest concentration of wildlife left on Earth. The famous Ngorongoro Crater supports high densities of wildlife throughout the year and contains the most visible population of black rhinoceros remaining in Tanzania.
Two of the most important paleontological and archaeological sites in the world – Olduvai Gorge and the Laetoli footprint site – are found inside Ngorongoro, and further important discoveries may yet to be made in the area.
It is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Tanzania and, as such, is an important economic resource to local residents and the world.
