  "account": "The Zambia Golf & Investment Summit 2026, scheduled for October 14-20, aims to bridge business discussions with golf and tourism experiences to strengthen commercial ties between Zambia and East Africa. The summit, organized by Stejos Tours & Travel, Dahlia Safaris, and Zambia’s Trekking Tours, will focus on sectors such as agriculture, mining, energy, technology, real estate, healthcare, and tourism. Unlike conventional business conferences, it will feature structured business-to-business meetings, executive roundtables, and investor engagements to facilitate direct conversations between East African companies and Zambian businesses. Golf will be a central component of the program, with rounds at established courses, serving as a relaxed setting for executives to build relationships. The main gathering, themed \"Driving Business Through Sport,\" will take place at Bonanza Golf Resort, with discussions on trade, investment, and tourism opportunities. Participants will also explore Zambia’s tourism attractions, including Chaminuka Estate, Victoria Falls, and a safari in Chobe National Park. The week-long program is designed for business leaders, investors, and executives, aiming to position Zambia as a potential market while engaging with sectors where the country has significant economic activity.",
