Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Government has secured funds from the World Bank towards the development of Kasaba Bay Tourism Resort in Northern Province meant to facilitate the opening up of the regional tourism circuit.<\/p>\n

Provincial Minister Leonard Mbao said the money is expected to facilitate the planning of the resort, construction of an airport and a bridge across Lufubu River as well upgrading of the Mbala \u2013 Kasaba road.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mbao, who is also Mpulungu Member of Parliament, said the development is in line with government\u2019s agenda to open up the Northern Tourism Circuit.<\/p>\n

Mr Mbao was speaking when he paid a courtesy call on Chief Chitimbwa of the Lungu people disclosed that rehabilitation works on the Kasaba \u2013 Mbala road will start within the course of the year.<\/p>\n

He said upgrading the road will not only enhance access to Kasaba Bay but also boost other economic activities. Mr. Mbao further observed that the road will also serve as a link to the Mwenda \u2013 Kasomeno road which is expected to connect Zambia and neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Chief Chitimbwa said upgrading of the road has been long overdue and hindered socio-economic development in the area. He has since commended government for taking steps towards addressing the situation.<\/p>\n
