TOURISM
SECTOR PROFILE
March 2012
Fal
OVERVIEW
Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in Zambia. Between 1995 and 2007,
the number of visitors to Zambia increased eightfold. The Government of the
Republic of Zambia has identified tourism as one of the prime sectors of the
national economy.
In 2005, nature tourism alone (when both direct and indirect effects are included)
contributed to nearly 6.5% of GDP and 7% of government revenue.
Zambia stands out as one of the prime tourism destinations in Africa offering a
wealth of natural tourism assets – waterfalls, lakes and rivers holding about 35% of
Southern Africa’s water, ‘wildlife protected areas’ occupying about 10% of the
country’s total land area, and a tropical climate – a passport to sunshine almost
throughout the year.
Zambia is home of the Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the
World. In addition, Zambia is endowed with a rich and diverse culture resulting in
the occurrence of more than 30 colourful traditional ceremonies annually.
“Zambia: Let’s Explore”
Unveiled in June 2011, the new logo and
slogan of Zambia's tourism beckons tourists,
investors and general visitors to explore this
amazing beauty – the magnificent waterfalls,
rivers, lakes and rich sunshine under the
crisp, Champaign weather.
“By rebranding the tourism slogan, we have the opportunity to benchmark ourselves
against other countries in the region that are more successful
in the development of their tourism sector”
“A successful domestic tourism sector is a prerequisite for the success in attracting foreign
tourists. Zambia has abundant tourism products, which the Zambians themselves have not
even sampled. The peaceful nature of the Zambian people and their hospitality has made
the country remain a preferential tourist destination.”
Director, Tourism Department

I. WHY INVEST IN ZAMBIA‘S TOURISM INDUSTRY?
1.
HUGE POTENTIAL IN HOTEL INDUSTRY
Tourism is a growing sector in Zambia. Between 1995 and 2007, the number of visitors to
Zambia increased eightfold, reaching to 897,000 arrivals. While the recent International
financial crisis negatively affected the tourist industry, dropping the number of arrivals to
710,000 in 2009, the tourism industry made a quickly recovery. In 2010, the number of
arrivals to Zambia was 815,000 and it is expected to reach 950,000 in 2011. With the
growing number of tourists, the development of hotels, holiday resorts, and private estates in
identified and famous tourist destinations of the country presents an excellent investment
opportunity.

II. ZAMBIA’S TOURISM RESOURCE BASE
1.
WATER FALLS - AWESOME AND MAGNIFICENT!
Zambia is endowed with more than 20 magnificent waterfalls which are located in
different parts of the country. These natural wonders have particular importance to the
country in attracting tourists from all parts of the world. Investors are encouraged to establish
their investments close to these natural wonders.
The Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls, which is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World is ‘a must see’.
At their peak, the Falls plunge into the Zambezi River at about 550,000 cubic metres per
second. The impact of so much falling water raises a cloud of vapour that can be seen more
than 30 kilometres away. It is because of this that the falls have been known for centuries as
Mosi – Oa – Tunya, ‘The Smoke That Thunders’. The falls, which lie in the country’s tourist
capital of Livingstone, south of Zambia, was declared a World Heritage Site for its unique
geological / geomorphologic significance. The Victoria Falls area is rich in biodiversity.
There are eight gorges as fascinating as the falls, as well as the ‘look-out tree’ – an enormous
Zambezi valley baobab in which a platform has been built for an excellent view of the falls.

Fact about the Victoria Falls Bridge
The Victoria Falls Bridge was commissioned by Cecil John Rhodes in 1900,
although he never visited the falls and died before construction began, he expressed
his wish that the "railway should cross the Zambezi just below Victoria Falls. I
should like to have the spray of the Falls over the carriages."
Other Waterfalls
The Kalambo Falls are the second most significant waterfalls in Zambia. Located on the
Kalambo River some 33 kilometers to the north-west of Mbala town in northern Zambia, the
Kalambo Falls are nearly twice as high as the Victoria Falls and are the second highest
uninterrupted falls on the African continent at 235 meters high.
Other waterfalls include Ntumbachushi Falls in the Luapula province, Lumangwe Falls,
Ngonye Falls on the Zambezi, Chipempe Falls and the Chishimba Falls located in northern
Zambia. These untapped waterfalls lie in areas of scenic landscapes providing potential
investors with rich areas for development.

LAKES AND RIVERS

rivers and swamps - there are 5 major rivers and 4 major lakes. The Zambezi River is
Africa’s fourth largest river and the country’s longest spanning a total distance of 2,700
kilometers. It is on this river that the mighty Victoria Falls and the world’s largest man-made
Lake, the Lake Kariba lies. In the southern part of the country is the Kafue River which spills
into the Zambezi River and in the Eastern Zambia is the Luangwa River. The Northern part
of the country is endowed with two rivers namely the, and three lakes that is, Tanganyika,

are a total of 20 national parks, 34 game management areas and 23 million hectares of land
devoted to the conservation of spectacular variety of animals. The major national parks are:

Opportunities for investment within the park are available.

South Luangwa National Park
The South Luangwa National Park, located in the Luangwa Valley in Eastern Zambia, has
one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in the world. A unique feature about the
Luangwa valley is its game viewing walks and drives which vary from one (1) to eight (8)
days with bush camps along the way. The South Luangwa National Park with an area size of
9,050 km2 has probably the largest variety of animals and bird life in Africa. Its river lagoons

and numerous varieties of antelope. Other animals are the elephant, lion and leopard. Visitors

Owing to its location and endowments, Lower Zambezi National Park is a very popular
tourist destination. The tourist attractions include an abundant wildlife, mosaic of vegetation
types ranging from the low floodplain seasonally waterlogged types to the mixed woodlands
up on the plateau and the scenic escarpment provides important added attractions. The park

Tiger fishing takes place in the area and visitors enjoy viewing the sunset on the Zambezi
River.
The legendary Zambezi River is in itself a spectacle and is the namesake of this pristine
wilderness. Along its 2700 km course, the Zambezi fertilises the Barotse floodplains, plunges
over the Victoria Falls and replenishes the massive Lake Kariba before reaching the Lower
Zambezi. Here, a myriad of islands have formed, creating a home and feeding ground for an
incredible amount of diverse wildlife. And which together creates one of the most diverse and
interesting eco-systems on the planet, providing the opportunity to explore these habitats in
an unmatched variety of safari activities.
