ITanzania isebenzisa iphrojekthi yezokuvakasha exhaswa yiBhange Lomhlaba

Kuhle kakhulu kwezokuvakasha kwasekhaya, emakhaya kanye nasezifundeni eMpumalanga naseNingizimu ye-Afrika, iphrojekthi yeResilient Natural Resource Management Yezimali Zezokuvakasha kanye Nokukhula exhaswe yiBhange Lomhlaba iyaqaliswa eTanzania.

Ukuqaliswa kokuPhathwa Kwemithombo Yemvelo Yeminyaka Eyisithupha Yezokuvakasha kanye Nokukhula (REGROW) kufaka phakathi ukwakhiwa kwamaphrojekthi wezokuvakasha asemphakathini wokunika amandla imiphakathi yendawo ngokubamba iqhaza emisebenzini yezokuvakasha.

Iphrojekthi ye-REGROW ihlose kakhulu ukwenziwa kwezinhlelo zezokuvakasha zemiphakathi yasendaweni ehlala omakhelwane eziqiwini zezilwane zasendle ezifundeni eziseningizimu yeTanzania lapho amabhizinisi ezokuvakasha nezabavakashi engathuthukisiwe kangako.

Kusizakala ngokuheha izivakashi okunothile, ikakhulukazi izilwane zasendle kanye nemvelo, iphrojekthi yeREGROW izodonsela ezokuVakasha Kwasekhaya kwabaseTanzania bendawo, Ezokuvakasha Zesifunda zezivakashi ezivela ezifundazweni zaseNingizimu ne-Afrika, kanye nezivakashi ezisezingeni lomhlaba.

ISouthern Tanzania yisifunda esisha sezivakashi esenzelwe intuthuko, ikakhulukazi ebhekise izivakashi zeziFunda ezivela eMalawi, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, South Africa, Rwanda naseBurundi. 

Okwamanje isenziwa, iphrojekthi yeREGROW iphinde ihlose ukwakhiwa kwengqalasizinda yezokuvakasha, ikakhulukazi imigwaqo nezinsizakalo zezokuthutha ukufinyelela amapaki ezilwane zaseningizimu yeTanzania enengqalasizinda yokuxhasa izivakashi engathuthukisiwe kangako uma iqhathaniswa naleyo eseNyakatho yeTourist Circuit.

Isekethe Yezokuvakasha yeNyakatho yeTanzania iheha izivakashi zezifunda ezivela emazweni aseMpumalanga Afrika ngaphandle kwezivakashi zomhlaba wonke ngeKilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) eKilimanjaro naseJomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) eNairobi, Kenya.

IPhini likaNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha eTanzania uMnu uConstantine Kanyasu uthe phakathi kwezindawo ezingaphansi kwe-REGROW Project kukhona iNational National Park esanda kusungulwa eningizimu yeTanzania. Kuyipaki enkulu evikelekile yezilwane zasendle eMpumalanga Afrika ehlanganisa amakhilomitha angaba ngu-30,000 square ngaphakathi kweSelous Game Reserve.

Isikwelede semalimboleko esisezingeni eliphansi semali mboleko yaseMelika iBhange Lomhlaba esingu-150 million besesiqondiswe ekwenzeni iphrojekthi yokuguqula umkhakha wezokuvakasha esifundeni esiseningizimu.

I-Tanzania manje ikhombe ukwehlukaniswa kwemikhiqizo yabavakashi, igxile kakhulu kwiZansi eseNingizimu engathuthukile ecebile ngezilwane zasendle, imvelo, umlando kanye nezindawo.

Ngaphansi kweREGROW Project, iSouthern Zone yaseTanzania izothuthukiselwa ukuhlukaniswa kwezokuvakasha ukuze ihehe izinkampani eziningi ezizotshala imali emahhotela nasezindlini zokuhlala, ezokuthutha ngendiza, ukuphatha phansi, nezinye izinsizakalo zabavakashi, konke okushodayo.

VUSELELA amaphrojekthi we-REGROW ukubeka iSekethe eseNingizimu ukuthi ibe yinjini yokukhulisa ngokuthuthuka kwezokuvakasha kanye nezinzuzo ezihambisanayo nokugqugquzela ukongiwa kwamaPaki kaZwelonke kanye neziqiwi ngaphakathi kwesiFunda.

I- “Southern Circuit” ifaka phakathi amaPaki Kazwelonke amaningi aseKatavi, eKitulo, eMahale, ezintabeni zase-Udzungwa, eMikumi, naseRuaha, onke aphethe izindawo ezahlukene zokuheha izivakashi.

Amapaki ezilwane zasendle aseNyakatho aheha izivakashi ezingaphezu kuka-800,000 zezithombe ze-safari ngonyaka. Akhiwe yiNtaba iKilimanjaro, iSerengeti, iNgorongoro, iTarangire, iLake Manyara ne-Arusha.

Abaphathi beTanzania National Parks sebekhombe izindawo ezibalulekile zokutshalwa kwezokuvakasha ikakhulukazi ezentuthuko yamahhotela emapaki ezilwane zasendle angavakashelwa kakhulu izivakashi eningizimu nasentshonalanga yeTanzania.

Iphrojekthi ye-REGROW izophinda futhi ixhase ngezimali izindlela ezahlukahlukene zokuziphilisa emiphakathini ekhethiwe engomakhelwane Izindawo ezine ezivikelekile (PAs) ezineMikumi National Park, iRuaha National Park, i-Udzungwa Mountains National Park, nendawo esenyakatho yezithombe yeSelous Game Reserve.

Ngokusebenzisa iphrojekthi yeREGROW, iTanzania ifuna ukuqinisa ukuphathwa kwezindawo ezivikelwe bese ikhuthaza ezokuvakasha ezenzelwe imvelo eSouthern Tanzania ngokugxila kwezokuvakasha kwasekhaya, kwesifunda, noma kwamazwe ase-Afrika nakwamanye amazwe.
