VICTORIA FALLS TOURISM GETS ANOTHER BOOST AS AFRICA TRAVEL TOURS SCOOPS AZTA AWARD
Written by Staff Reporter on September 21, 2026
Another major industry recognition is putting Victoria Falls tourism firmly in the spotlight, with local tour operator Africa Travel Tours named Second Runner-Up – Best Tour Operator at the Association of Zimbabwe Travel Agents (AZTA) Awards.
The recognition marks the second consecutive year that Africa Travel Tours has secured a top-three position in the Best Tour Operator category, according to the company.
For Victoria Falls, the achievement goes beyond an individual business award.
Tour operators are a critical link in the city’s tourism economy, connecting international and domestic visitors with accommodation providers, restaurants, attractions, transport operators, adventure companies, guides, curio traders and other businesses that depend on the steady flow of tourists.
Africa Travel Tours says the back-to-back recognition is a reflection of the consistency, dedication and hard work of its team, while also crediting its clients and travel trade partners for their continued support.
The company has thanked AZTA for the recognition and reaffirmed its commitment to service excellence and creating travel experiences across Africa.
The award comes at a time when Victoria Falls continues to strengthen its position as one of Africa’s major tourism destinations.
With the resort city attracting visitors from Zimbabwe, the region and international markets, local tourism businesses are increasingly competing not only for visitors but also for recognition within the wider African travel industry.
Industry recognition for Victoria Falls-based operators can therefore translate into greater visibility for the destination itself, particularly among travel agents, tour wholesalers and international tourism partners.
The challenge for local businesses, however, remains converting international interest in Victoria Falls into longer stays, increased visitor spending and stronger opportunities for businesses across the city’s tourism value chain.
Africa Travel Tours’ latest AZTA recognition adds another local success story to Victoria Falls’ growing tourism profile.
