Victoria Falls continues to be dominant as the country's major tourist attraction centre after recording 20,7 percent rise in arrivals during Easter Holidays compared to the same period last year.

Statistics from the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management (Zimparks), show that arrivals rose to 6 147 this year compared to 4 877 last year.

International tourist arrivals rose "exponentially" this year to 2 643 from 2 200 over the same period last year.

The number of visitors from across the continent, particularly the Southern region, also increased to almost 1 500 from 977 last year. Due to a rise in campaigns to promote domestic tourism, local visitors to the Victoria Falls also rose to 2 004 from 1 700 last year.
