"We are going to diversify our business by expanding into tourism sector as well. Tanzania is also becoming a very potential area for business," he told journalists, emphasizing he would particularly target luxury hotels chain to boost the growing tourism industry.

He also has invested over US $8 billion in the construction of a five-star property, the proposed 'Delta Hotel' in Nairobi, Kenya, but considers building several high class hotels in Tanzania. In Tanzania, Reliance Industries owns GAPCO oil.

Ambani further pledged to spearhead the establishment of direct air flights connecting Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro with Mumbai and other Asian destinations including Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo.

He said the flights would open up the local tourism industry to Asia and Middle-East countries.

Tourism minister, Maige, explained Ambani had promised either to go it alone or involve both the Tanzanian and Indian governments to link their important cities over the air in a move to boost tourism and other trading or business opportunities between the two countries.

An Asian business magnate and the chairperson and managing director of Reliance Industries, described to be the largest private sector enterprise in India and one of the largest private sector conglomerates in the world, has a personal stake in Reliance Industries reported to be at 48 per cent.
