DAR ES SALAAM: THE Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism has introduced a range of promotional offers and tourism packages for visitors attending its pavilion at the ongoing 50th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF), commonly known as Sabasaba, as the exhibition enters its fifth day.

He added that following a visit by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Dr Hassan Abbasi, to the ministry’s stands, all institutions under the ministry are now fully prepared to provide services at full capacity to visitors attending the fair.
