UK Zim Achievers Awards: Dr Munjaidi realizes lifelong ambition after being spat at while marketing Zim tourism

By Staff Reporter

Dr Felicia Munjaidi, who is responsible for tourism at the embassy in London, faced challenging experiences trying to bring visitors to Zimbabwe at the height of the political stand-off between Harare and the West.

Speaking at the Zimbabwe Achievers Awards (ZAA) England edition, Dr Munjaidi said there were moments when she was spat at, but she never hit the panic button under her desk to report the abuse to the police.

She did not despair or give up and continued to promote Zimbabwe as a remarkable tourism destination with unique attractions as well as a warm and welcoming people.

Today, that perseverance is reaping rich rewards, and the UK has again become a key tourism source market for Zimbabwe.
