Tanzania: Tourism Surpasses Gold as Top Foreign Exchange Earner | Firstpost Africa | N18G In a historic milestone, Tanzania’s tourism industry has contributed more to its foreign exchange reserves than its gold exports.

According to the Bank of Tanzania, the tourism sector generated $3.92 billion in the year ending May 2025, while the gold exports brought in $3.83 billion. Tourism has contributed over 55% to all service-related earnings. This is due to a surge in international arrivals in Tanzania. Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration has introduced targeted policy reforms aimed at easing operational constraints in the tourism sector.
