Zanzibar’s port upgrade programme is emerging as a key driver of trade efficiency and tourism growth, backed by investments estimated at about $400 million. The multi-site expansion strategy covers major ports and a new dry port, aiming to reduce congestion and improve resilience. Authorities are also leveraging private sector participation to boost efficiency. If delivered on schedule, the upgrades could lower business costs, improve visitor experience, and strengthen Zanzibar’s role in Indian Ocean trade.
