East Africa is moving closer to fully reopening its tourism, service and aviation sectors following this week’s review of the United Kingdom’s controversial Red List, which had almost halted travel and slowed down trade and tourism on the continent over the past 10 months.
UK’s Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced on Thursday that removing 47 countries including Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, DRC and Burundi from the Red List with effect 4am, October 11, was a “major step forward” for the UK travel industry.
