As a Ministry we would like to tap into the Chinese market in terms of tourists. They have a large number of tourists. We are also working on partnering with Seychelles since they have an expanse of water but they do not have game parks. In Zambia we have about 20 game parks and therefore, when people visit the vast waters on the beaches of Seychelles, they could fly directly to Zambia and enjoy wildlife viewing. Zambia is in the process of signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Seychelles to implement this.

Additional quotes by Jean Kapata

The challenges are quite many in this sector and one of them is the airline connectivity. We do not have direct flights into Zambia, and if we did, this would work out to be cheaper for the tourists and it will also save on time. And for that reason, what we need is proper connectivity to the world by having airlines that would fly directly into Zambia. In the recent past we have had some of the airlines pulling out of the country, these include KLM, British Airways. However we have great news- the Turkish Airline is soon coming here. Government is also working towards having a national airline for the country, which will go a long way in promoting tourism.

Even (Michael Chiluf Sata) came from the MMD before forming his own party. If people hadn’t left the MMD and other parties like UNIP to join him, he wouldn’t have won the 2011 elections, because winning is about numbers.
