While on our benchmarking tour in Tanzania, we also visited the Datooga community in the Lake Eyasi region. The visit offered an important lesson; increasingly, travellers are looking for something deeper: people, stories, traditions, skills, food, livelihoods and authentic human experiences.

The Datooga have developed a way of life in which pastoralism, traditional craftsmanship, trade, family life and cultural knowledge remain important parts of their identity. One of the most fascinating aspects of the community is its traditional metalworking. Datooga blacksmiths are renowned for transforming discarded or scrap metal into useful objects such as arrowheads, spearheads, knives and jewellery. Their work also connects them economically with neighbouring communities, including the Hadzabe.

For someone working to promote Busia County as a tourist destination, this experience raises an important question:
What can Busia learn from the Datooga experience to develop stronger Community-Based Tourism products?

The answer lies not in copying the Datooga, but in understanding the principle behind their tourism appeal: a community's everyday culture can become a tourism experience when the community itself is at the center.

For Busia Tourism, the message is clear: Our greatest tourism assets may not always be buildings or attractions. Sometimes, they are the people, knowledge, skills, stories and traditions that have been passed from one generation to another.

If we preserve them, respect them and create meaningful tourism opportunities around them, Busia can turn its living heritage into sustainable livelihoods while giving visitors reasons to stay longer, explore deeper and return again.

Our recent visit to the Lake Eyasi region in Tanzania for a Hadzabe cultural tourism experience provided an important practical lesson on the value of benchmarking in destination development. The visit was not simply about travelling to another destination; it was an opportunity to observe, learn, interact with communities and understand how culture, nature and community participation can be transformed into meaningful tourism experiences.

For Busia County, such learning journeys can play an important role in strengthening our efforts to position the county as a vibrant and competitive tourist destination.

The visit to the Lake Eyasi region was therefore more than a personal travel experience. It was an opportunity to observe how culture can create meaningful connections between visitors and communities and to reflect on what such lessons could mean for Busia.

When we started promoting Busia County as a tourist destination, one genuine concern was raised: “What happens if a visitor experiences a medical emergency or is involved in an accident while visiting Busia?” It is an important question, because the availability of reliable emergency medical care is a critical part of building visitor confidence in any destination.

Fortunately, Busia County is increasingly well positioned to respond to such situations. St. Elizabeth Specialist Hospital Busia in Busia Town is a modern world class medical facility equipped to provide professional medical care, including the management of emergencies that may arise from accidents, sudden illness or other unexpected situations.

For tourists exploring Busia's diverse attractions—from the hills and cultural sites to the beaches and shores of Lake Victoria—having access to a modern healthcare facility provides an added sense of reassurance. Visitors can enjoy their experiences knowing that professional medical attention is available in the event of an emergency.

This is an important part of destination development. Tourism is not only about attractions, accommodation and memorable experiences; it is also about creating an environment where visitors feel safe, comfortable and supported.
