International Institute for Peace through Tourism

And why wouldn’t peace be synonymous with tourism? That was the theme of the conference and rightly so since Zambia is a haven of peace and a safari ‘delight’. They deliberated on how peace should champion tourism. Zambia just fitted the bill!

That’s why the third International Institute for Peace, Africa conference on peace through tourism was held in Zambia. The conference ended Saturday, February 12. There were 350 delegates who attended the conference. To mark the end of the conference they dedicated a Peace Park at Victoria Falls on an area provided by Sun International the owners of the hotel resort near Livingstone town.

Sun International owns a combo of two resorts. Two brandy new hotels opened in May 2001. The hotels are the nearest resorts to the Victoria Falls. One is a three star hotel only minutes from the falls and the other a five star supreme in luxury that over looks the Victoria Falls. There you have a bird’s eye view of the falls as you relax in the comfort of your upper room. All rooms over look the falls…and what hotel can beat that!

Flumes of smoke…it’s a mist really, covers the southern sky. The accompanying hum as the water cascades on the cliff is serenity in itself. At night the drone lures you to a deep sleep even if you’re a bad sleeper. Try it and you’ll never forget Zambia the peace haven and the mark of Africa safaris.
