The African countries of Namibia and Botswana are looking to ease restrictions on arrival visas; this is according to an online article published recently by The Southern Times, a regional newspaper of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The article cited an African Development Bank (AfDB) report that was made in collaboration with the African Union (AU); it referred to Botswanian President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s plans to provide tourist visas on arrival to encourage the tourism and business sectors.

The report further highlighted an announcement made by Stanley Simataa, the Minister of Information and Communication Technology in Namibia; he stated that the country was issuing on-arrival visas to several African nations not belonging to the SADC region. Such moves would help to boost tourism with hotels in Namibia including those in the capital the likes of Avani Windhoek Hotel & Casino providing diverse accommodation options for travellers.
