Earnings from tourism in Tanzania rose by 10.6 per cent to $2.16 billion in the year to May 2015, from $1.95 billion as visitor arrivals increased, Bank of Tanzania (BoT) said in its latest monthly economic review.
The government is expecting an increase in tourist arrivals and revenue generated from the figures of last year.
"We anticipate rise in figures over that of last year in terms of the number of tourists and the generated income," The Permanent Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Dr Adelhelm Meru.
Dr. Meru said he was optimistic that the tourists arrivals would pick up later and revenue generation from the sector would surpass last year levels.
Stakeholders in the sector had earlier said they were worried that there would be a decline in the sector after the peak season began with low number of arrivals.
They attributed the situation to Ebola threat and worries over security in East Africa from Somalia's al Shabaab militants.
Tourism which directly employs 500,000 people, accounts for 25 per cent of Tanzania's total foreign exchange earnings.
