REELING from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and accompanying mitigatory measures such as travel restrictions, the tourism and hospitality sector is pinning its hopes on the ongoing vaccination programme for revival.
This follows the launch of the second phase of the national vaccination programme by President Mnangagwa in the resort town of Victoria Falls last week where all inhabitants of the city were invited to receive their vaccines free of charge.
Following the launch President Mnangagwa, himself was vaccinated in the premier tourism city, along with leaders of different political parties, as the nation ramps up its efforts to inoculate the population against Covid-19, a severe respiratory disease that has forced nations to impose lockdowns and limit international travel.
