Rwandan President Paul Kagame has introduced visa-free travel for all Africans, making Rwanda the fourth African country to do so.
Kagame noted that the move was aimed at capitalising on Africa’s growing tourism market, driven by the continent’s growing middle class.
Rwanda has been on a campaign to boost its tourism sector, partnering with football clubs like Arsenal and Bayern Munich to promote the country as a tourist destination.
Rwanda now joins Seychelles, The Gambia and Benin, as the only African countries that provide visa-free entry for all African citizens.
This week, Kenya’s President William Ruto announced that the country would end visa requirements to all African visitors by 2024.
