Kenya drops unpopular entry fee for seven countries

In a move to promote tourism and enhance diplomatic relations, Kenya has announced the removal of the entry fee for citizens from seven countries.

The affected countries include Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Mauritius, and Namibia.

This decision comes after years of criticism and complaints from citizens of these countries, who argued that the fee was a barrier to travel and hindered regional integration efforts.

Kenya’s Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife stated that the removal of the entry fee is part of a broader strategy to attract more tourists and foster closer ties with its neighbors.

This announcement has been welcomed by many, with hopes that it will lead to increased tourism and economic benefits for the region as a whole.

Overall, the decision to drop the entry fee for seven countries marks a positive step towards greater regional cooperation and economic growth in East Africa.
