He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Zanzibar's main foreign exchange earnings, some suggested as much as 75 percent, come from tourism income, and local and international investors have sunk mega bucks into the development of a number of five-star resorts, all worried that the long-running political differences between the CCM and the opposition could spill over into the streets, causing havoc on the sector which in past years has benefitted from an increased inflow of passengers after Kenya suffered severe anti-travel advisories from the UK and the US.
No new date for the elections has been named yet, and tourism sources have reportedly lobbied to either have the elections as quickly as possible or else after the Christmas/New Year holidays when the island is normally packed to capacity with local, regional, and international visitors.
When the government in semi-autonomous Zanzibar formally announced the cancellation of the elections held at the end of October, the reaction was swift as tourism stakeholders expressed their rising concern over the impact of the political stalemate on the Spice Island's tourism industry.
