Marketing Intern

We are looking for a creative, motivated, and enthusiastic Marketing Intern to join our tourism team in Tanzania. This internship is ideal for a student or recent graduate who wants practical experience in tourism marketing, digital marketing, social media, content creation, customer engagement, and business development.

The Marketing Intern will support the marketing team in promoting tourism experiences, destinations, services, and campaigns across digital and offline channels. The successful candidate will gain hands-on exposure to how a tourism company attracts customers, builds its brand, creates engaging content, and converts interest into bookings and business opportunities.

This is a practical learning opportunity for someone who is passionate about tourism, travel, marketing, communications, social media, and the Tanzanian travel industry.

As a Marketing Intern, you will work closely with the marketing and business development teams to support the planning and execution of marketing activities.

Your work may include creating social media content, researching tourism trends and target markets, supporting promotional campaigns, assisting with photography and video content, updating digital platforms, engaging with potential customers, and helping the company improve its online visibility.

You will also have the opportunity to learn how tourism products are positioned and marketed to different customer segments, including local and international travelers.

The ideal candidate is curious, organized, creative, willing to learn, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment. Previous marketing experience is helpful but not essential; a strong willingness to learn and demonstrate initiative is important.
