Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 79760, member: 636"] Tanzania is planning a combined service hub for tourists and foreign visitors. The proposed one-stop center would merge a special police unit with immigration officials to handle all entry, travel, and work matters. A police superintendent, Waziri Ibrahim Tenga, stated the existing Tourism and Diplomatic Police Unit, already active in the Northern Zone, provides unique protections like airport escorts and highway patrols. He called it the only such department in East Africa. The unit's reported success, assisting with lost passports and ensuring visitor safety, has drawn interest from several other nations. With annual tourist numbers exceeding five million and a goal to reach eight million by 2030, the Home Affairs Ministry sees a need to expand these services. The integrated center aims to make processes more efficient for the growing influx of international visitors. [/QUOTE]
