Council president Emmanuel Fundira says 362 000 people had visited Zimbabwe by August compared to 100,000 in 2008. The sector got a boost when several Western countries lifted travel warnings after the formation of the unity government. Tourism revenues were an estimated $250 million a decade ago but dropped to $40 million in 2005. The revenue has however risen to $100 million since the formation of the coalition government. Tourism has been touted as one of the first sectors poised to recover as international arrivals increase.
