An alcohol shortage has hit Zanzibar, the popular tourist destination off the coast of East Africa.
Prices of beer have reportedly doubled, following a change of importers, which has disrupted the supply chain to the archipelago.
Beer can not be manufactured on the islands, because of the large Muslim population, so Zanzibar is reliant on imports.
The Zanzibari tourism minister also recently resigned claiming poor working conditions, but there has been speculation that his resignation was because of the problems around alcohol.
According to the BBC, the Zanzibari authorities declined to renew the import permits of three companies which were bringing alcohol into the islands. Three new importers were given import permits, but hoteliers on the archipelago are saying the companies cannot meet demand.
Tourism in Zanzibar has been surging in recent years, largely driven by arrivals from Russia and India. However, the alcohol shortage could see tourists going elsewhere for beach holidays.
