A Tanzanian information technology entrepreneur has developed three mobile games in his effort to contribute towards promoting Tanzania’s tourism attractions.
Elias Patrick - who is an expert in digital marketing, website designing and development of mobile applications - said in Dar es Salaam that the mobile games, which are named after three of Tanzania’s key tourism attractions - will specifically address three key challenges.
