ਕੀਨੀਆ ਅਤੇ ਤਨਜ਼ਾਨੀਆ ਨੇ ਅਫਰੀਕਾ ਵਿਚ ਖੇਤਰੀ ਸੈਰ-ਸਪਾਟਾ ਮੁਹਿੰਮ ਲਈ ਰਸਤਾ ਤਿਆਰ ਕੀਤਾ

“We noted that trade between Kenya and Tanzania is facing some administrative challenges. They include non-tariff barriers and other restrictions, which are frustrating investment between our 2 countries,” President Kenyatta said.

ਪੂਰਬੀ ਅਫਰੀਕਾ ਦੇ ਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਖੇਤਰ ਵਿਚ ਸੰਭਾਵਿਤ ਤਲਾਕ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ ਲਈ ਖੇਤਰੀ ਸੈਰ-ਸਪਾਟਾ ਸਹਿਯੋਗ ਨੂੰ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧਾਉਣ ਦਾ ਸੰਕਲਪ ਲਿਆ ਹੈ.

The 2 leaders have expressed their commitment to improve connectivity through new roads, aviation, and maritime transport to hasten economic growth among the 2 nations.

Tourism is a critical component of the East African economy and an important part of the region’s common destiny. Kenya and Tanzania share common tourist services and products, mostly in the form of wildlife.

Regional shared services are to be provided to all categories of visitors and tourists including ground transport, air transport, and accommodation facilities.

The East African Community’s ability to position itself as a leading tourism destination has been a good example of regional cooperation in travel in Africa.

Introduction of the East Africa Tourist Visa allows travel between Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, boosting regional tourism and creating opportunities for tourists to explore the diversity of multiple destinations in the region.

In recognition of the need for joint efforts in marketing Africa as the global tourist destination of choice, ਅਫਰੀਕੀ ਟੂਰਿਜ਼ਮ ਬੋਰਡ (ਏਟੀਬੀ) executives have joined with African leaders on Africa Day 2021.

ATB Patron Dr. Taleb Rifai, its President Alain St.Ange, and its Chair Mr. Cuthbert Ncube have come together on behalf of the Board’s Executive Committee to wish the tourism community from all the 54 States a Happy Africa Day 2021.

ATB issued a statement saying: “We in tourism are appealing to each and every African to embrace this call made by the AU because our continent’s arts, culture, and heritage remain the foundation for a strong tourism industry for our continent.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has brought our tourism industry to ground zero, and it is now through unity firstly, and through the respect of each and every one of us secondly, that we can honestly restart our tourism industry for the benefit of every African.

“The African Tourism Board wishes everyone a Happy Africa Day 2021 and says a light is now visible at the end of the tunnel. Let us hold hands together and march proudly to relaunch tourism, the industry that is so needed by Africa and in so doing give the needed oxygen to the airlines of our continent.

“ਨਾਲ World Tourism Network (WTN) working now side by side with us, we shall re-start our tourism industry.”

Alain St.Ange, ATB President, had earlier congratulated the Kenya and Tanzania Presidents for the meeting saying African Tourism is stronger when the 2 East African countries are geared for closer cooperation.

St.Ange’s remarks come when Tanzania’s new President was on a 2-day State visit to Kenya on the invitation of President Uhuru Kenyatta as the 2 countries were seeking to mend and restore bilateral ties.
