Dream - In an effort to attract tourists, several countries have started removing visa requirements for visitors. Kenya has now announced that anyone, regardless of nationality, can come to the country without a visa. Previously, in October 2023, Kenya had removed visa requirements for fellow African countries.

Although the new system in Kenya still allows this country to screen and reject entry of high-risk tourists. The elimination of traditional visas is also a political move aimed at portraying this country as tourist-friendly.

"In 2022, revenue from international visitors soared by over 83% to US$2.13 billion. Local officials have taken steps to ensure this trend continues by promoting this country as a top tourist destination."

"Although visitors from North America make up the largest part of international arrivals, Kenya has also seen an increase in the number of tourists from China, Japan, as well as neighboring African countries such as Tanzania and Uganda. "Kenya has a simple message for humanity: welcome home," said Ruto."
