THE United Nations has been impressed by the country’s booming tourism sector giving the nation the nod to set up the African International Culinary Arts Academy in Victoria Falls, President Mnangagwa has said.
Speaking at the main Heroes Day Celebrations in Harare, President Mnangagwa said the nation is richly endowed with breathtaking landscapes, pristine wildlife, and a vibrant culture, all of which contribute to the status as the tourist destination of choice.
The President said as the tourism sector has been on a rebound Zimbabwe successfully hosted the United Nations Gastronomy Conference, where local cuisine showcased Zimbabwe at its best.
“The United Nations Tourism Organisation has since approved the setting up of the African International Culinary Arts Academy in our resort city of Victoria Falls,” he said.
“In Harare, the Liberation City will soon take its place among the biggest man-made tourist attractions, together with the Museum of African Liberation from which all progressive nations on our Continent will tell the story of their arduous journey to Independence, democracy and freedom.”
