Summary/Abstract: The article contains a description of the field research which I conducted as part of the “Contemporary Mobility Patterns in Tanzania” Project, carried out by the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Warsaw in cooperation with the Mkwawa University College in Iringa in 2017. The focus of this presentation is on the relationship between the people and institutions shaping the developing tourism industry in the city of Iringa and its vicinity. I pay particular attention to the shaping and promoting of tourist attractions and to local attitudes and strategies towards the development of the market.
