The East African Community (EAC), has devised a joint regional approach aimed at reviving the tourism sector in the region amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tourism has been the worst-hit sector since March 2020 when the EAC countries took measures to contain the spread of Covid-19. The measures that were taken included the closure of airports and land and water entry points, both international and within the region.
About six months later, the airports were reopened under strict operating procedures which also involved the training of airport staff by the EAC and the regional aviation body, the Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Agency (CASSOA).
