Zimbabwe Tourism Minister Has ‘Disneyland’ Plans For Victoria Falls

Zimbabwe Tourism Minister Has ‘Disneyland’ Plans For Victoria Falls

Walter Mzembi, Zimbabwe’s Tourism Minister has his eyes set on making the country’s most popular attraction — Victoria Falls, which is largely in neighboring  Zambia — even more of a site to see. CCTV Africa reported that his quest to invest in building around less-traveled areas of the waterfall has been a “laughable” plan to some in infrastructure. Mzembi says that he just wants to ensure that the attraction is bigger and better for years to come.

“You can call it what you want. You can call it ‘Disneyland’ as the media is suggesting — you can call it an outer city,” Mzembi told CCTV Africa. “The bottom line really is we want to modernize that section of Victoria Falls that is not covered by the World Heritage [site].”

Amusement parks and casinos, the report said, are on the list of attractions to be built in hopes to lure more international tourists. The cost of these upgrades is around $460 million.
