For the third time in a row, the Iringa Regional Museum and Cultural Centre has warmly welcomed approximately three hundred tourism students from the University of Dodoma. This visit is an important part of practical learning, giving students an opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge in their field of study. It is an energetic step in preparing them for success after completing their studies.
In addition to enriching the students’ knowledge, these visits also play a significant role in promoting cultural tourism and domestic tourism. Through these experiences, we continue to demonstrate that our culture is a valuable treasure that can attract people of different ages and professions, thus strengthening the collaboration between the education and tourism sectors.
We sincerely thank the University of Dodoma for continuing to choose us as a part of their practical training program. The Iringa Regional Museum serves as a symbol of historical and cultural heritage found within Iringa Municipality. This collaboration benefits not only the students but also our community as a whole.
With open hearts, we welcome you again to join us in the future. We remain committed to working closely together to provide education and promote understanding of our culture through cultural tourism. Welcome again to Iringa, where history and culture live forever.
The Vice Chancellor of the University of Iringa, Professor Edward Hosea, visited the Iringa Regional Museum, known as Iringa Boma, which is an important part of the “yahari yetu Tanzania” project. This project is under the University of Iringa. During his visit, Professor Hosea expressed pride in the efforts made by the project to empower youth in various fields, preserve culture, and promote cultural tourism.
Speaking at the museum, Professor Hosea said, “I am a strong supporter of tourism. Congratulations on your work to restore this historic building and preserve its value. It is clear that these efforts greatly benefit the community and Tanzania’s history.”
He also promised to support the efforts of the “fahari yetu Tanzania” project and the Iringa Regional Museum. He emphasized that the University of Iringa would provide significant cooperation to strengthen the efforts to preserve cultural heritage.
“Welcome, guests, to invest in Tanzanian tourism. You can invest in food, culture, and homestay tourism. Our goal is to ensure the growth and promotion of tourism in Tanzania through any means possible,” said Hon. Angela Kairuki, the Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism in Tanzania. She made these remarks during the launch of the Swahili International Expo, which took place in Dar es Salaam.
Mr Jimson Sanaga, the Co-Manager of the “Fahari Yetu Tanzania” project and the Iringa Boma Regional Museum stated that this is their fourth time attending the major tourism exhibition in Tanzania. He mentioned that each year, the exhibition has been unique.
“For all four years that we have attended these exhibitions, we have seen significant differences. The exhibitions have helped us promote Tanzanian tourism, especially tourism in the Southern Highlands. However, we still have a great opportunity to continue promoting local tourism and our historical heritage,” Mr Sanga added. He also mentioned that the “Fahari Yetu” project is currently involved in the research of ancient narratives that are at risk of disappearing, with the aim of collecting and preserving them for future generations.
The Swahili International Tourism Expo (SITE) is held annually in Tanzania, with the aim of bringing together various stakeholders in domestic and international tourism. In 2023, the exhibition occurred from the 6th to the 10th of October at Mlimani City in Dar es Salaam.
