The map's wrong. For starters the razor sharp coral stretches further south than where they've got it.
But you *do* have sharks with lasers? :-)
Well, for what it's worth, Zim does have one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. My work takes me to southern Africa several times a year, and last year it took me to the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. It was jaw-droppingly spectacular, and it looked like what was over on the Zim side was even more spectacular...

"Boost global holidaymaking", well yes Mugabe and his wife do like to go overseas for their holidays and shopping, so one could say that was true.
Think of the millions of Zimbabwean citizens who have taken extended holidays in their neighbouring countries over the last few decades. Yep, Bob sure knows how to get people travelling.
