Tourism up over 86%

In April 2009 6,252 bed nights were booked in Victoria Falls for the month. In April 2010 a total amount of 11,675 bed nights were booked, signifying a staggering recovery of 86.74% from the previous year. April 2010 has seen the highest number of bed nights booked in over a decade.

Victoria Falls was hard hit by the recession and also given the perception of Zimbabwe as a politically unstable destination tourists have mostly stayed well clear since Mugabes farm invasions.
