Later in 2013 we will be launching the largest tourism clubs network ever seen in Tanzania. Our experience shows that these clubs are critical to establishing personal relationships between Tanzanian students and business sectors that are essential in building business success in tourism and hospitality in the nation. While ambitious, this goal is achievable with the right priorities in place to build strong clubs and create a world-class experience for Tourism club members. To date, a network of more than twenty students’ utalii clubs have been established with about 1000 members from around 20 universities and colleges in Dar es salaam and much more are being formed in the coastal region.
