Visitors to Kenya from across the world will no longer require a visa from January, President William Ruto said on December 12. Ruto has long advocated for visa-free travel within the African continent. At a conference in the Republic of Congo in October he said people from African countries would not require a visa to visit Kenya by the end of 2023. The tourism industry plays a vital role in Kenya’s economy, offering beach holidays along its Indian Ocean coastline and wildlife safaris inland. “Kenya has a simple message to humanity: Welcome Home!” he said.
