Tanzania has announced new investment opportunities in conference tourism at Mtumba Government City in Dodoma. The plan includes an international conference centre, exhibition grounds, hotels, and commercial facilities, supported by major infrastructure projects such as the SGR railway and Msalato International Airport.
The announcement was made by the Director of the Policy and Government Coordination Department, Paul Sangawe, during an official meeting with the Managing Director of the Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC), Christine Mwakatobe, held in Arusha on 15 October 2025. Sangawe said the Government has set aside specific areas within the Government City for the construction of a major international conference centre, exhibition grounds, modern hotels, and facilities for financial, commercial, and leisure services to enhance private sector participation in the city’s development.
He noted that the ongoing infrastructure developments, including the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the Msalato International Airport, will drive the demand for such facilities. “This centre will strengthen Dodoma’s status as the nation’s capital and position Tanzania as a leading destination for regional and international conferences,” Sangawe stated.
