Moshi. Local tour operators and a foreign-affiliated organisation are on the brink of a dispute that threatens to put the Mount Kilimanjaro multi-million-dollar trekking industry in the crossfire.
Tanzanian tour operators are up in arms over what they allege to be unfair trade practices by the Kilimanjaro Responsible Trekking Organisation (KRTO) aimed at locking them out of the $50 million annual Mount Kilimanjaro hiking business, an allegation which KRTO strongly denied.
