Kenya and Rwanda Abolish Visa Fees to Boost Intra-African Tourism Mobility

Kenya and Rwanda have fully implemented visa-free travel for African citizens to stimulate regional mobility. This policy change aims to capitalize on a tourism market that is seeing record-high arrivals in Morocco and Egypt.

The World Travel and Tourism Council is urging more African nations to adopt e-visas and open-skies initiatives. South Africa remains a top safari destination, while Namibia is gaining traction for its "surreal" desert landscapes. Sustainable travel is also a priority, with Mauritius and Seychelles reporting high demand for eco-friendly luxury stays. Improved air connectivity between West and East Africa is making multi-country itineraries easier for business travelers.
