We’re excited to launch the REDUCE Guidelines: Reducing Single-Use Plastics in Zanzibar’s Tourism Industry!

Developed by Blue Impact Network in partnership with Chumbe Island Coral Park and the Zanzibar Commission for Tourism, with support from the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) under the Western Indian Ocean Governance Initiative (WIOGI), these guidelines provide practical, evidence-based solutions to help tourism businesses reduce single-use plastics and transition towards more circular operations.

Whether you’re a hotel, restaurant, tour operator or tourism supplier, the REDUCE Guidelines offer practical tools to rethink procurement, eliminate unnecessary plastics, engage suppliers, and adopt reusable systems – without compromising the guest experience.

By working together, we can strengthen Zanzibar’s tourism industry while protecting the natural environment that makes our islands so unique.

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊💙

This World Ocean Day, we celebrate not only the beauty and importance of our oceans, but also the collective efforts of rangers, educators, researchers, partners and visitors who help make marine conservation possible.

Healthy oceans are essential for healthy communities, biodiversity and climate resilience. World Ocean Day is a reminder of the importance of long-term, effective marine protection.

Protecting the ocean is not a one-day commitment. It is a long-term responsibility. One that benefits us all!
