President of the Republic of Tanzania, His Excellence, Dr. Jakaya Kikwete, said there are several investment opportunities in Tanzania which awaits eligible businessmen to invest.
President Kikwete was speaking recently with a team of Turkish journalists who were on a 5-day tour in Tanzania last week for the purpose of promoting the Tanzania destination in Turkey. The seven visiting journalists were from the mainstream media institutions and international agencies which are Today’s Zaman, Cihan International News Agency, Samanyolu TV, Kanal, Star and Ihlas International News Agency.
According to the President, varied investment opportunities are available in the mining; hospitality industries like hotels, tour companies, Airlines, Ports, manufacturing industries and many more.
Speaking at the same function the Turkish Ambassador based in Tanzania, His Excellency, Dr. Sander Gurbuz said that the plan to launch direct airline flights from Turkey to Tanzania is underway. “We expect to have the direct Airline flights into Tanzania in few months to come”. He confirmed.
Turkey is visited by more than 23 million tourists per year which will expose the Tanzania tourist products and services to a wider and reliable market. “The people of Turkey are good tourists and I would like to see them make Tanzania their preferable tourism destination.” Said, President Kikwete.
Speaking of relationship between the two countries the President said that after the Turkish President’ visited Tanzania the Embassy was established In Dar es Salaam. President Kikwete is expecting to visit Turkey in the near future, and as a matter of priority he will work towards solidifying the relationship by signing memorandums on different aspects like economic, technical, education, science and research cooperation.
In summary, the Turkish people who may wish to invest in Tanzania will benefit by having other surrounding markets for their products outside Tanzania because Tanzania has agreements with AGOA and is a member of the East African Community, comprising Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.

INTENSIVE EDUCATION WILL CURB THE WILDFIRE PROBLEMS IN THE NATIONAL PARKS
Tanzania National Parks has been urged to offer more environmental education to the societies living at the slopes of Mount Meru as a deliberate move to avoid wild fire which in the past month has destroyed more than 600 acres of such forests in the area.
Speaking after visiting the affected area recently, the Minister of State in the Vice President’s Office (Environment), Dr. Batilda Burian stressed that it is only through awareness raising among the residents of the surrounding area, this destruction to environment would stop and people would understand the importance of environmental conservation. She also insisted that all accused persons must be taken to court.
Earlier, the Acting Chief Park Warden of Arusha National Park, Ms Gladness Ng’umbi said that almost an area of 600 acres has been affected and the park has used 10 million Tshs in an effort to control fire. She said the fire could have been caused by honey gatherers who use old methods.

阿鲁沙国家公园推出独木舟探险游
世界著名湖区所在地阿鲁沙国家公园（ANAPA）近日推出独木舟探险游，成为又一个旅游亮点。 独木舟探险游位于莫美拉（Momela）湖区的小莫美拉湖（Small Momela）。坦桑尼亚国家公园（TANAPA）园长Gerald Bigurube近日表示，对游客的初期反响感到满意。
这是该公园近期推出的第二个新景点，另一活动即徒步绕行世界著名的恩谷鲁度图（Ngurudoto）火山口，将在1月份正式启动。
这些活动旨在让游客有机会观赏各个栖息地的不同动物，领略大自然的美妙与神奇。
现时，坦桑尼亚国家公园正携手四家营办机构及其他旅游相关团体推广这两项新产品，进一步提升国内丰富自然资源的价值。
小莫美拉湖的独木舟探险游由阿鲁沙的Green Footprints Adventure Limited营办，推出不长时间就吸引了176位前来湖区驾舟探险。
独木舟探险游令游客得以在自然中与河马和野生鸟类亲密接触，这在寻常的野游中难得一见。
1995年阿鲁沙国家公园的游客只有7,000人，而2002-2003年度已猛增至28,000人。今年的游客人数还将进一步增长，因为截止到7月份已有30,000名游客到访。
座落于乞力马扎罗山（Kilimanjaro）和梅鲁山（Meru）之间的阿鲁沙国家公园，不仅风景秀丽，而且是众多野生动物的栖息地，在火山湖区可观赏到成群水禽，丘陵地带有茂密的山林，而梅鲁山的主峰更是美不胜收。
林中栖息着大量鸟类及其他动物，古老的雪松间不时可见羚羊出没，树枝上则是白疣猴的家园。
该地区有丰富的地貌，尤以高大的凝灰火山锥和梅鲁主峰的悬崖峭壁最令人震撼。
攀上主峰的人无不为乞力马扎罗山和东非大裂谷的壮景所折服。
