Passengers to Zanzibar are being warned not to bring single-use plastics to the island. This comes after the government began to strictly enforce a ban on all plastic bags.
Tour operators confirmed to Tourism Update that they had received notice of the ban from island authorities in October last year, and had since included a note to agents and travellers in their quotes and booking confirmations, warning their clients about the ban.
Mango, which operates three flights a week to the island, began warning passengers in October last year of a ban on all plastic bags, including ziplock bags.
