Travel Tip: 3g Internet

I was the happiest man in Zimbabwe when l heard that Econet wireless Zimbabwe roled out the 3g technology on its network a few months ago. The new service was on trial for several months, with a select few put on a free trial for several months. When the service was finaly released the public had to pay $25 for initial connection and a flat rate of $25 per month from then on.

I traded in my old 1200 for 6600, paid the money and voila, l was blogging from my phone. The service was aparently over subscribed and Econet has since suspended adding any new customers to the platform. But internet starved Zimbabweans and tourists are keen to catch up with rest of the world in terms of technology and 3g could not have come at a better time.

I use it all the time. If you are travelling to Zimbabwe you can get information about the 3G service at http://www.econetworld .com

Stay connected to the world.

A new dawn

Since the Land Reform programme in 2000, tourism in Zimbabwe has steadily declined. After rising during the 1990s, with 1.4 million tourists in 1999, industry figures described a 75% fall in visitors to Zimbabwe in by December 2000, with less than 20% of hotel rooms occupied. This has had a huge impact on the Zimbabwean economy, where thousands of jobs were lost due to companies closing down or simply being unable to pay staff wages.

But with the New inclusive government companies are realizing an increase in business and the economy has started to grow after over 10 years of stunted growth. Leading the way is tourism and as a result blogs like this on have started to encourage that growth
