{{East African Community member states are inching closer to marketing the region as a single tourist destination.}}
Tourism Minister Dan Mwazo said Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi were putting final touches to an agreement that would allow tourists to visit attractions across the region in a single circuit.
Mr Mwazo, who is also the East African chairman of the Tourism Executive Council, said non-tariff barriers would also be removed to enhance free trade and travel.
“The member states policies are being harmonised for the realisation of full cooperation, the provision of quality service to tourists and joint conservation of the wildlife,” Mr Mwazo said.
Addressing a Press conference at the Kenyan exhibition stand at the World Travel Market in London, Mr Mwazo said the region would also have joint efforts in conserving wildlife.
