Is East Africa Making Strides in the Tourism Promotion Front? TheExchangeEA: EastAfrica
This is according to the report by World Travel Tourism Council which also states that despite improvements, traditional visa policies remain an obstacle to both tourism and economic growth.
In October 2020, the East African Legislative Assembly released a report citing the tourism situation in the region. At this point, the review of Classification Criteria for Tourism Accommodation Establishments and Restaurants had already commenced in August 2018. The review aimed to take into account international tourism trends and best practices to ensure that the region enhances its competitiveness and positions itself adequately in the global tourism market. The EAC tourist visa was then marketed as a key enabler to growing tourism in the region.
According to a report by WTO on EAC, dubbed Trade Policy Review Report by the Secretariat, the region hosts several natural attractions. Kenya and Tanzania have a coastal tourism segment, while the landlocked countries have beautiful nature and wildlife. Tourism contributes significantly to the economies of Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
