THE Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) has re-launched the Victoria Falls chapter to speed up the economic recovery of the resort city post-COVID-19.
Victoria Falls is one of the areas that were hardest hit by COVID-19 as it relies largely on tourism.
The Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) has now moved in to mobilise business people in the resort city to contribute significantly to the attainment of Vision 2030.
“Victoria Falls is the heart of tourism in this country and for the chamber of commerce to consolidate its presence in Victoria Falls, naturally I think you know its a policy thrust of the chamber of commerce where we will be able to gather much statistics regarding the tourism sector and Victoria Falls remains one of the most sought destinations of choice. If you look at the number of inbound into Victoria Falls, I think you can see there is evidence that we need a chamber of commerce branch in this town,” said Christopher Mugaga, ZNCC CEO.
“We want to improve a lot of things that include business connections and revive business and its contribution to the GDP,” said Alouis Masamba, ZNCC Victoria Falls Chapter, chairperson.
Other members were excited by the re-launch and pledged to contribute towards Zimbabwe’s economic development.
ZNCC is a private-sector voluntary organisation established to develop promote, and lobby for its members and the local business community.
