Tourism is one of the contributing sectors that will see Tanzania overtake in GDP growth next year, according to a new report by a global consulting firm.

Deloitte in a new projection on how six East African economies would progress in the coming year expects Kenya's to expand at 5.2 per cent, while Tanzania's will grow at 6.1 per cent.

This is despite these two economies having grown at almost the same pace in the last three years.
