Tourism can lift the economy

THE interest the Harare International Carnival has generated has shown that with proper marketing and innovations, tourism can once again take a lead in lifting the economy.

The carnival provided an opportunity for Zimbabwe to reinvigorate itself and show its cultural power. This was also coupled with performances from groups from other countries which afforded Zimbabwe an opportunity to benchmark itself against others.
