The launch of the handbook, which is part of the national tourism master plan, will also include a tour of the Kamungoma Liberation Site and Trabablas Trail in Masvingo.

"The launch will be at the Great Zimbabwe Hotel and we expect Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga to grace the occasion and he will be accompanied by Prisca Mupfumira," said Mr Koti.

Among the invited guests are the Minister of State for Masvingo Province Josiah Hungwe, Government departmental representatives and foreign organisations such as the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), African Development Bank and local authority representatives among others.
