The Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism has assured both citizens and international visitors that peace and stability have been fully restored across the country following post-election protests.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the ministry said that social and economic activities are continuing without disruption after authorities swiftly contained the unrest that followed the October 29 and November 1 demonstrations.
According to the ministry, Tanzania remains committed to maintaining its reputation as a safe and stable travel destination, in line with international tourism and safety standards under the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
“All entry and exit points, including airports, seaports, railway stations, and border crossings, are operating normally,” the statement said.
“Tourism activities and hospitality services remain fully available nationwide.”
The government reiterated that Tanzania continues to offer a conducive environment for travel, investment, and tourism, emphasizing that the brief disturbances had no lasting impact on national stability.

The protests, which began on polling day, October 29, were led mainly by young Tanzanians demanding electoral reforms and the release of detained opposition leaders. The demonstrations turned violent in parts of Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Songwe, and Arusha, resulting in casualties and property damage during clashes with police.
The situation has since been brought under control following coordinated security interventions.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan was declared the winner of the election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote.
The government urged both domestic and international communities to continue engaging with Tanzania in travel, trade, and tourism, assuring that stability and safety remain a national priority.
