Zimbabwe was rather late to open all its points of entry due to the pandemic, but the country is making tourism inroads with the recent Association of Zimbabwe Travel Agents (AZTA) Awards recognising leading industry players.

In April, Victoria Falls won the responsible tourism award for sustaining communities during the pandemic, with the country excited to welcome tourists back.
Africa Albida Tourism (AAT) property won top awards at the AZTA event, scooping five awards – including Best Resort Hotel for its flagship property Victoria Falls Safari Lodge for the 24th time.
The annual awards voted by the Zimbabwe travel sector recognise industry players, including airlines and hotels, for great service.
AAT’s premium property, Victoria Falls Safari Club, was also named Best Boutique Hotel for the seventh time, while Lokuthula Lodges won the Best Self-Catering category for the eighth time.
‘It’s very gratifying for Africa’s Eden to be recognised,’ said AAT executive chairman Dave Glynn. ‘With over 400 members it is becoming a regional voice and the member networking is amazing to watch. We look forward to welcoming AZTA members to our quickly expanding fold.’
