Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry, Walter Mzembi has revealed that the country will start getting the benefits from the Harare International Carnival in five to ten years time. Speaking on Monday, Mzembi said:
As government, we are optimistic that it will yield a return on investment in the next five to 10 years, hence the reason why the project has continued to receive major support from the treasury.
Government believes in the power of the carnival, particularly its potential to generate the much-needed revenue for the country. All the economic benefits we project will be a function of how much we invest now.
