Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82662, member: 636"] Zanzibar is dropping serious cash on a massive infrastructure overhaul. Dr Khalid Salum Mohamed confirmed the administration is pushing hard to modernize air, sea, and road networks to establish the region as an East African trade powerhouse. The initiative aims to boost tourism while fixing local logistics issues. The Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is seeing huge upgrades under the Zanzibar Airports Authority. Crews are currently building Terminal II for thirty-four million dollars alongside a six-million-dollar update for Terminal 1. Future plans involve a commercial center at Terminal III and an entirely new Airport City. These upgrades stem from insane traffic spikes, seeing aircraft movements jump to seventy thousand recently. Passenger counts hit roughly two and a half million travelers. Officials believe this expansion supports the vital tourism economy while improving safety standards for international flights arriving at the island destination. Marine transport is also blowing up with massive volume increases recorded across the board. Quarterly reports show over fifteen hundred vessel calls moving half a million people. Speed boats and Ro-Ro ferries handle heavy demand on the busy route connecting Unguja with Dar es Salaam. Routes toward Pemba and Tanga also remain active. Ship registrations climbed to over five hundred vessels recently, amidst tighter safety inspections. Dr Khalid claimed these efforts linked to the Zanzibar Revolution anniversary will create jobs and make the area competitive for logistics investors looking for fresh opportunities. [/QUOTE]
