Altezza Travel Aims High: Targeting 5,500 Tourists by 2025

In Dar Es Salaam, as Tanzania’s tourism sector makes strides toward recovery, Altezza Travel aims to serve 5,500 travelers in 2025—a step up from the 5,000 customers served in 2024. In an interview with The Citizen on April 9th, 2025, Mr. Dickson Muganda, representing the company, outlined this objective. Most of Altezza Travel's clientele come from North America, specifically the U.S., followed closely by visitors from Western Europe, notably Britain and EU member states like Germany, the Netherlands, and France. Additionally, there is notable interest coming from emerging markets within Eastern Europe—countries such as Poland, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Significant growth has also emerged from southern regions, primarily Spain; consequently, Altezza launched a Spanish edition of its site last year to accommodate this burgeoning demand. “We’re optimistic because countries like Spain haven’t historically been substantial contributors to Tanzanian tourism,” commented Mr. Muganda. He emphasized confidence due to favorable governmental policy reforms introduced by the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB). Beyond boosting visitor counts, Altezza commits itself to eco-friendly practices ensuring positive outcomes for surrounding areas. Having earned Travelife certification in 2024, plans are currently being formulated towards achieving B Corp status soon. These recognitions symbolize the firm’s devotion to fostering social welfare alongside commercial prosperity. To reach the projected number next year, strategic flexibility plays a pivotal part along with continuous assessment of innovative marketing tactics designed to distinguish themselves globally amidst fierce competition. Yet, maintaining genuine interpersonal relationships remains paramount, underlining client preferences leaning heavily upon trust built around individual interactions rather than merely pricing models or products offered. Post-pandemic repercussions notwithstanding, Altezza refrained from laying off personnel despite financial hardships faced throughout lockdown periods. Instead, they chose refunding all reservations fully instead of freezing payments temporarily. Although impacting developmental budgets significantly then, retaining skilled labor proved beneficial overall. With recent accolades recognizing them as leaders among Tanzanian tour agencies via awards ceremonies held earlier this year, coupled with tax contributions setting records regionally, achievements highlight resilient progress made against backdrop uncertainty worldwide. Employment rates surged dramatically across various firms involved directly benefiting locals economically both short term and long range alike. Environmental stewardship forms another cornerstone guiding operational philosophies wherein partnerships forged enable joint ventures tackling issues related to biodiversity preservation activities ongoing presently. Recent examples involve equipping trackers monitoring movements using satellite technology aiding research conducted inside protected zones plus planting tens of thousands tree saplings rejuvenating landscapes degraded previously. Finally, altruistic endeavors extend beyond corporate boundaries into societal realms aiming holistic enrichment enhancing quality life standards collectively enjoyed residents living adjacent sites operated commercially successfully today.
