Times of Zambia: "PRESIDENT Mwanawasa has challenged Zambians to invest in tourism and discard the syndrome of viewing the sector as a preserve for foreign investors.
Dr Mwanawasa said Zambians should stop using their nationality as collateral to seek sympathy from anyone, but should instead face the challenge of developing the tourism sector and other industries
He said the tourism sector was the fastest growing industry and a major driving force in the world economy and stressed that its investment should not be left to foreigners
The president who is on a 10-day private visit with his family to Mfuwe, was speaking yesterday when he officially opened the Mushroom Lodge and Presidential House in the Luangwa South National Park."
