Celebrating World Tourism Day

We gathered tourism professionals from Lusaka to celebrate World Tourism Day in style. The event started with presentations that introduced us to two innovative start ups from the community.

Women-led startups — Voyazed, and Rimour Tours

Our first special guest, Ms. Tiza Shanzi, shared the story of its Zambian start up Voyazed, an online booking website. Voyazed allows individuals, both local and international, to book their accommodation online and take advantage of travel packages being offered by a vast array of travel and tourism suppliers in Zambia. The presentation showed how the company started and how it is performing now. It showed lot of innovation, passion and creativity in the tourism industry.

Our second start up, Rimour Tours, also shared their story and allowed us to dive into the world of tour packaging. It was good to have young ladies venture in the tourism industry!
