It was learned last week that space bookings for the region’s most important tourism trade show, held annually in Arusha, Tanzania, are now on again and can be made on the web or directly by email to the show organizers. Contact them via or write to them at [imeli puipuia] or visit their website’s booking link via www.karibufair.com/exhibit/book.php .

The event will take place at the Magereza show ground in Arusha between June 4-6 and brings together exhibitors from the entire region and beyond, as seen last year, and a growing number of buyers from around the world. The show was sold out last year and early bookings are strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. The same applies for hotel accommodation in Arusha and its environs, which tends to fill up quickly, too – this column can warmly recommend The Arusha Hotel in the center of Arusha or a wonderful little hideaway en route from the airport to town at Usa River, Rivertrees.

The trade fair secretariat can also make recommendations in regard of accommodation while attending the show, so feel free to ask them for added guidance.
