Zimbabwe plans to develop Binga into a major tourist hub by capitalizing on its natural beauty and BaTonga cultural heritage. Tourism Minister Barbara Rwodzi told Parliament on Wednesday that the government is rehabilitating the 345-kilometer Binga-Siyakobvu-Karoi Road to create a corridor linking Kariba and Victoria Falls. The completed aerodrome features a 1.1-kilometer runway capable of accommodating six small aircraft daily, while Econet Wireless has expanded mobile coverage to Ward 1 near the beach.

Dubai influencers who visited Binga in January 2024 extended their planned two-day trip to eight days after witnessing traditional ceremonies. They produced a documentary about BaTonga culture for Dubai Television. The destination offers white sand beaches, hot springs for medical tourism, and diverse wildlife. Rwodzi emphasized that BaTonga cultural practices represent valuable tourism products that should generate direct income for local communities as part of Vision 2030 development goals.
