Industry clusters worth visiting

4

Sector hubs your delegates can map a site visit, guest speaker, or post-class field study against.

01

Tourism & Hospitality

  • Zanzibar Commission for Tourism
  • Zanzibar Association of Tourism Investors

Tourism is Zanzibar's primary economic engine, contributing over 25% of regional GDP and employing thousands across hospitality, transport, and cultural services.

02

Spice Agriculture & Export

  • Zanzibar State Trading Corporation
  • Zanj Spice Limited (1001 Organic)

Zanzibar's historic identity as the 'Spice Island' endures through clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper exports, with spice farm tours linking agriculture to tourism.

03

Blue Economy (Fisheries & Aquaculture)

  • Zanzibar Investment Promotion Authority (ZIPA)

With roughly 800 km of coastline, Zanzibar's marine ecosystem supports fisheries, seaweed farming, and aquaculture — sectors the government is actively expanding under its blue economy strategy.

04

Trade & Logistics

  • Zanzibar Ports Corporation
  • Zanzibar Airports Authority

Zanzibar's free port area and modernised international airport terminal support growing import-export activity and regional connectivity.

Training venue

Zanzibar offers a range of hotels from international-standard resorts in Stone Town and beach areas to boutique properties, though some accommodations may need to generate their own electricity due to occasional grid unreliability. Training venues are typically hosted within larger hotels or dedicated conference facilities in Stone Town and the surrounding area.

Getting there

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is located approximately 5 km south of Stone Town and is served by international carriers including KLM, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, and Kenya Airways. Taxis and hotel transfers are the primary ground transport; tuk-tuks are available for shorter trips around the island.

Visa

Most nationalities can obtain a Tanzania eVisa online (USD 50 ordinary / USD 100 multiple-entry for US passport holders) via visa.immigration.go.tz, or a visa on arrival at Zanzibar airport. Applications are processed within ten days; apply at least ten days before travel.

Safety

Zanzibar is generally safe for visitors, but take standard precautions: avoid walking alone at night in unlit areas of Stone Town, keep valuables secure, and use reputable transport. Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim island — dress modestly when outside hotel and beach areas.
