How power outages are affecting tourism in Arusha Tanzania

Power outages is a problem facing the whole country but putting a big dent in one of the most important and productive sector in east African most popular safari hub Arusha city.Power outages are a big headache to both tourists and hotel owners in Arusha city,the prices of everything is already high because of the high gas prices,and this is not making the situation easier.Hotel operations prices have sky rocketed in the recent years,all across the board, even the smallest of the accommodations are either cutting back on workers or increasing their prices to at least break even in the already competitive hospitality market.The tourism industry that hires a big percentage  of  the people from this popular region needs help and fast, in order to keep providing the quality services tourist expect from them,question is how long can we depend on the electric infrastructure that was built back in the 1940's and 1950's to fulfill our current and future growing population? Is the answer somewhere in the government bureaucracy ? or should the multi-million tourism business depend on foreign aid ?
