CITM---China International Travel Mart (CITM), the largest travel exhibition in Asia has been successfully held at Shanghai New International Exhibition Center from 20th Nov to 23rd Nov 2008. CITM aimed at both travel trade and consumers, provided exhibitors the opportunity of multiple business talks and negotiations with international buyers, travel agents in China as well as promoting their destinations and travel products and services to large number of Chinese consumers too.

For the first time unprecedented number of African destinations and exhibitors took part in CITM 2008 with dedicated support from China Business Network and the World Travel Online.

During CITM, Mr. B.S. Kilonzo, the Professor of Tanzania National Parks gave an interview to the reporter of World Travel Online.

There are 15 national parks in Tanzania including Arusha, Gombe Stream, Katavi, Mount Kilimanjaro, Kitulo Plateau, Mahale Mountains, Lake Manyara, Mikumi, Mkomazi , Ruaha, Rubondo Island, Saadani, Serengeti , Tarangire, Udzungwa Mountains. Among them,  Kilimanjaro is one of the world's most accessible high summits, a beacon for visitors from around the world. Most climbers reach the crater rim with little more than a walking stick, proper clothing and determination. And those who reach Uhuru Point, the actual summit, or Gillman's Point on the lip of the crater, will have earned their climbing certificates. So Kilimanjaro attracted so many people each year to visit.
