Ministry of Tourism and Arts Permanent Secretary Patrick Lungu says it is important that stakeholders engage each other in intensifying available opportunities in the tourism sector.<\/p>\n

Mr. Lungu said this in a speech read for him by Director for Tourism Lillian Bwalya during the launch of the Events Professional Association of Zambia (EPAZ) in Lusaka today.<\/p>\n

He said the government is confident that the establishment of EPAZ will help address some of the challenges faced by the tourism industry in the country.<\/p>\n

And EPAZ Chairperson Lee Anne Singh said the association has been established to provide a voice for various competitors in the events industry. Ms. Singh said EPAZ has put in place a code of conduct and ethics that should be adhered to by all members of the association.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, EPAZ board member Mable Mung\u2019omba said the launch of the association was timely as most tourism destinations are developing recovery strategies following the Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
