The tourism minister told airport workers to be nicer to people coming into the country. She said staff at entry points create the first impression for visitors and returning citizens, especially during the busy holiday travel period. She specifically highlighted the importance of the diaspora community for the economy, saying they deserve a kind and respectful welcome. The minister made these comments while visiting the Bulawayo airport as part of a government outreach program.

Her team from the tourism authority also talked with airport employees and other travel sector workers. They pushed for more cooperation to improve services and the country's image for visitors. This greeting initiative is happening at other border crossings nationwide, part of an effort to increase tourist numbers year-round. The minister pointed to the current high activity at ports of entry as a good sign for the industry. Airport officials stated they are prepared for the crowds but asked for longer operating hours to reduce congestion and help them work better. The Bulawayo airport currently runs from six in the morning until seven at night.
