The venue hiring and events planning industry is currently facing hardship because of the spread of covid-19. These challenges can be reduced by employing various interventions to mitigate negative impacts of the virus on the national economy.
Our latest blog post is a list of contingency plans that can assist your business during and after the lockdown and social distancing measures.
What is Social Distancing?
Social Distancing is what public health officials recommend to slow the spread of a disease that is being passed from person to person. It means that people keep a distance away from others so that the coronavirus cannot spread from one person to another.
This may be seen to be a threat to the venue hiring and event planning industry but it is necessary to do in order for us to restore full operations as soon as possible. Let’s be advocates for social distancing and lead the movement by temporarily stopping social gatherings and closing our doors to protect both our clients and employees
Remember to encourage your clients to postpone and not cancel events. 2021 still has 365 days which we will fill with events
We support this international movement which speaks to our local industry in Zimbabwe as we work to #saveevents businesses during this unexpected interruption to our businesses
Let us encourage our clients to postpone rather than cancel events. As international event planner, Annie Lee, states delaying revenue vs losing it completely can help stop more event industry businesses from shutting down and from people losing their jobs

For event planners, you are free to peruse our catalog of venue listings to find one that suits your budget, preferences, dates and location. By creating a personal account you can confirm your booking and settle payment using our secure payment gateway which accepts various modes of payment from mobile money to bank transfers.
