According to him, bureaucrat executives should feel ashamed over delaying initiatives that are geared towards advancing the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the tourism business, he stated that there is still much work to be done in the hospitality industry, because lack of classic hotels for both domestic and foreign tourists is still experienced in the market.<\/p>\n<p>He commended the owner of the newly launched hotel and other investors for taking initiative of boosting the tourism sector in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In line with that, he also lauded the hotel management for putting the clean energy cooking concept into practice, by installing the necessary infrastructure within the establishment and urging people to refrain from cutting down trees for charcoal and firewood.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Dr Biteko stressed the significance of the government\u2019s ministries and institutions utilising investment infrastructure in Dodoma City, which is the country\u2019s capital. For his part, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and owner of Rafiki Dodoma Hotel Fladmiry Mallya expressed gratitude to the government for improving the investment climate, which encourages Tanzanians to make more investments and thereby, boosts employment opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
