ZNTB backs Legacy but......

The Zambia National Tourist Board (ZNTB) has welcomed Legacy Holdings intention to build a hotel in Livingstone Mosi-o-tunya National park.

ZNTB Managing Director, Charity Lumpa said once, completed the hotel will create employment opportunities for Zambians.

Ms. Lumpa said the building of the hotel will also see an increase in tourist arrivals in the country.

She however said there is need to find solutions to address concerns raised by stakeholders over the construction of the hotel in the national park.

The intention by Legacy to build a hotel in the park has raised much dust locally and from international concerned bodies.

UNESCO which recorgnises the Victoria Falls and areas around, as one of the World's Heritage sites has already aired its concern.
