Funding shortage stalls tourism audit

Funding shortage stalls tourism audit
Published: 10 January 2018
An audit to identify roles that are duplicated in Government's Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry and the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA), is stalling due to lack of funding, it has emerged.

If funded to the tune of $65 000, the priority exercise will be complete within a month, Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry permanent secretary Dr Thokozile Chitepo, told a Parliamentary portfolio committee yesterday.

The move is expected to streamline wage costs for the sector and create a seamless regulatory and supervisory environment for the tourism industry, amid indications of confusion that has been costing operators.

On completion, high ranking officials in the ministry and State enterprise as well as other junior staffers could lose their jobs. Responding to questions from the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Tourism, Environment, Water and climate, Dr Chitepo said the programme was underway.
