Dar es Salaam. The government has failed to fully utilise the potential of beaches to accelerate tourism along the coast, according to the Controller and Auditor General (CAG).

Tanzania has at least 1,424 kilometres of coastline that hold potential for tourism activities such as swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, water sports and sunbathing.
