Arumeru district in Arusha region is wooing more investors in different sectors of the economy.
The most populous district in the region has more incentives for investors besides its fertile land and good weather, an official has said.
Others include a fairly developed basic infrastructure and proximity or connectivity to the markets; local and abroad.
District Commissioner Richard Luyango affirmed in Arusha at the weekend when gracing second form four and kindergarten graduation at the Turkish Maarif School Arusha.
"You can come and invest in Arumeru. We have many places to invest and improved structures like the road network and utilities", he said.
Mr.Luyango specifically urged potential investors from Turkey that there were many opportunities for investments in the district.
The event at an academy supported by Turkish Maarif Foundation (TMF) was attended by the Turkish ambassador to Tanzania, Dr. Mehmet Gulluoglu.
Arumeru is a home of the multi-million dollar horticulture industry in Tanzania and has dozens of tourist hotels and lodges.
But Mr. Layango said investments from the private sector should be extended to the state-of-art education training centres.
Tanzania remains an investment destination, he pointed out, noting that such investments should include the education sector.
TMF was established by the Turkish government in 2016 by the Turkish government to open educational institutions abroad.
It operates in 45 countries, including Tanzania, 35 of which are in Africa. Its learning centre in Arusha currently has over 500 students.
While the Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam campuses were set up three years ago, the Arusha campus was launched in February last year.
Last year, the Foundation announced that it was seeking land around Arusha to establish an international vocational training centre.
The proposed facility is to be set up close to TMF's rented premises at SOS Village along the Namanga road in Arumeru district.
The Turkish education body's campus director in Arusha Mr. Halil Server Sahin could not say anything on the planned training centre.
However, he hinted that discussions were still underway with the relevant authorities on the matter.
"It is a brilliant idea. We have already invested millions of dollars in our education projects in Tanzania", he explained.
Plans were that the proposed vocational education centre would offer training skills in appropriate new technologies.
Turkish ambassador Dr. Gulluoglu affirmed his country's commitment for enhanced relations with Tanzania, especially in investment areas.
