In order to ensure security and diplomatic support to foreign visitors and tourists visiting Tanzania, the Tanzania Police Force has established a special unit charged to take care of the safety requirements of diplomatic mission members and other foreign tourists visiting destination Tanzania.
Commanding Officer of the Unit, Tanzania’s Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mary Nzuki, said Tanzania Police Force had decided to form a special unit to ensure that tourists who come to visit this African safari country would enjoy maximum security throughout their stay. She noted that her mission was to meet tourist stakeholders to learn more about the tourism and hospitality industry and establishing how they could work together for the benefit of the industry.
The Tanzania Tourist Board Managing Director, Dr. Aloyce Nzuki, said the Police Force’s move would make a significant impact on the development of the tourism industry in Tanzania, because peace and security are critical factors in attracting more visitors to any destination.
Tanzania government had last month decided to establish special units within the Tanzania Police Force to address security issues pertaining to investment ventures, mining in particular, tourism, and environment in an effort to reduce crime in key tourist areas including cities, towns, wildlife parks, historical sites, roads leading to remote tourist sites, hotels, and lodges.
