Zimbabwe steps into the global spotlight for Religious Tourism as delegates from around the world converge for the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ 2025 Special Convention. The Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry, together with the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, warmly welcomed religious tourists arriving at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport ahead of the convention, set to run from August 22–25 at the National Sports Stadium under the theme PURE WORSHIP. The event is expected to attract around 23000–25000 delegates, including approximately 2000 international tourists from countries such as the USA, UK, Portugal, Denmark, Malawi, Mozambique and Angola, alongside around 21000 domestic religious tourists. Many delegates are already exploring Zimbabwe’s tourism attractions such as Imire Game Park, Kuimbashiri and Wild is Life. The convention strengthens cultural exchange while positioning Zimbabwe as a premier Religious Tourism destination, where faith-inspired gatherings are enriched by cultural heritage, natural beauty and warm hospitality. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Zimbabwe Jehovah’s Witnesses Church for partnering with the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry, helping to showcase Zimbabwe as a religious world-class destination.#Jehovah’sWitnesses#ReligiousTourism#ExperienceZimbabwe#ZimBho👍
