Our Initiatives

Zanvacay leads innovative programs that equip youth with skills, mentorship, and real-world experience. Our initiatives include:

“Attending the inaugural Zanzibar International Youth Tourism Summit (ZIYTS) was truly an unforgettable experience. Being part of a platform where ideas were shared and thoughts were nurtured towards building a resilient blue economy was inspiring.”

Agnes Kabissa, Host ZIYTS 2023

“Magical Zanzibar like never before. As a youth in development of career, passion and the nation’s future, Zanzibar International Youth Summit went beyond expectations especially it being held for the first time.”

Tumaini S. Maletho, Delegate ZIYTS 2023

“Being part of ZIYTS has been a rewarding journey. Serving as Protocol Coordinator and later as MC for two years allowed me to witness the power of youth empowerment through tourism, leadership, and collaboration.”
