JKIA transit passengers hit 1.25m as cargo increases 18pc.

You did serve us with numbers, but if that's the case then your receiving more tourists but they spend far less than in Tanzania.

Mind you, transit passengers are tourist. Don't count those.
They don't spend less in Kenya. In Kenya we only factor government revenue. In Tanzania you calculate the total amount spend which is absurd - an American comes to Dar and spends $10,000 at Sheraton hotel and you guys think that's what Tanzania gets from him? Lol, you don't even realize Sheraton is American and most of that money goes back to America.
 
Talk with figures not diatribes and lazy postulations
 
Every step a tourist take on Tanzanian soil is tax. From airport, to tour van, hotel, parks, internal flights, marine etc. And that $10,000 you mention by the time tourist leave the country, that money stays in our economy. Kenya must be very extra ordinary county with extra ordinary accounting skills to think that Kenya Tourism Board only calculated the money government collect and that it. I'll suggest you check with KTB for clarification of that matter.
 
Your cash is cooked figures. You take the total amount a tourist spends in Tanzania while in Kenya we figure out government revenue only.

Kenya ninyi ni wabovu sana katika planning na priority settings, ninyi kwenu mnathamini kupata sifa zaidi kuliko reality. Sisi tunaposema tunapata pesa nyingi katika tourism au mining sector, ni rahisi sana kuunganisha na kuthibitisha hivyo, kwasabu lengo la pesa sio ikae bank au kuonekana tu katika karatasi za records ya nchi.

Tanzania hadi sasa tumetenga $3.1B kwa ajili ya SGR, tumetenga $1.5B kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa hydroelectric dam, tunatoa elimu bure kutoka primary hadi secondaru schools, tumenunua ndege 7 kwa mpigo bila kukopa, tumepunguza sana kukopa kama nchi ili kupunguza mzigo utokanao na interest ya mikopo. Yote haya yanatokana na mapato ya utalii, mining sector na agriculture, tungewezaje kufanya yote haya kama tungedanganya kuhusu revenue?. wanaopika data ni ninyi mnaodai mna GDP kubwa wakati hamna cha kuonyesha on the ground, kila kitu ni mkopo.
Kenya falls in ‘Failed State Index’ rankings

Hata Kenya is doing the same, the world over is doing the same. By definition tourism revenues estimates are a compilation of all tourism-related expenditures made by non-resident visitors and travelling within the province or country. Sasa hii self made-up idea sijuwi umeitoa wapi.
 

Dude.....you guys need economics classes.
There's is what we call contribution to GDP. That's the total value of services and goods an industry generates within its country's borders. This is where all the money spent by a tourist in a country is calculated.

We then have government revenue. That's the exact amount the government collects from a certain industry.

The problem with you Tanzanians is you take your contribution to GDP figures and compare them with our government revenue figures and claim you're doing better. If you compare your confrcontrion to GDP figures with our contribution to GDP figures, we are still ahead. Look at the figure below and please don't make me open a thread about this.


 
Hahahahahahahahaha bring the evidence please, even you tourism CS has surrendered, who are you to deny the truth that Tanzania is far ahead of you in tourism?, actually we are chasing South Africa, Egypt and Morocco in tourism, Kenya forget about that, and before 2020, we will take over in manufacturing sector.

Look at this Quack. $2bn Tz tourism is Government Revenue not Contribution to GDP, That fugure has no revenues from hotel bookings and tourist spending and buying goods and services and misellanuos things like money spent on prostitutes.. Continue embarassing yourself 😀
Tanzania Tourist Arrivals Increase by 12.9% in 2016 to Reach 1,28 M - TanzaniaInvest
 
I would encourage you to open a thread and we can humiliate you in the broad day light

Kenya made $1.2bn 2017, with all goods and services you couldn't even break $2bln
So all those years when EAC finances ministers sit down and discuss each others budgets, GoT is taking GoK GDP tourist revenue compare with overall goods and services providers to Tanzania tours. Saa nyingine naona kama unakuja hapa kupoteza muda hapa. Hivi inajuwa how much it cost for holiday package in Tanzania or Kenya that where you'll know any Tanzania earn more than Kenya.
 

See? You're back to what I was talking about.
$1.2 billion is 2017 government revenue (similar figure in 2016)
$2.5 billion is 2016 DIRECT contribution to GDP
$6.7 billion is 2016 TOTAL contribution to GDP.

Get your facts right, my source quotes cobtricontri to GDP figures not Revenue figures.
 
And what did you expect?
Tourism contribution to GPD
kenya 8.3%
Tz 17%
Tourism plays a bigger role in Tz than in kenya but ofcourse 8.3% of $56bn is bigger than 17% of 78bn
