Shazam! Those zany Zambians are on to something, my little zombies. Some crazy Lusaka travel cats have formed a Zambian “Pride Club” which – get this – “recognizes and rewards travel consultants in Zambia.” And it’s Kenya Airways’ idea. They think it’s time for travel consultants to come out of the closet. Own the podium. Parade down the street with high heels, whips and exposed buttocks! Ok, well, maybe just the gay ones.
Point is, they think agents are the key to growing serious business opportunities. Country Manager Rose Kiseli said “travel consultants could significantly contribute to the growth of the tourism sector in line with the Zambian government’s focus to diversify from mining to tourism.”
So, like, travel agents could influence coal and copper excavation? Who knew? Just think of what we could do with gold and diamond quarries in Canada! Ok, everybody focus and repeat after me: “We hereby divert all Canadian precious metal and mineral mining rights to one Mrs. Ivanna Gabbalot the IVth.” If you’re really proud, you will repeat often and loud. Oh, and um… hurrah for the travel nation. Ya. Go get’em.
