Summary
The East African region is going from strength to strength with over 5.4 million international arrivals in 2015, a growth rate of over 2% in one year. Although recent terrorist attacks have affected Kenya's inbound market, overall, there is a positive trajectory across the region with Canadean expecting arrivals to reach over 7.2 million by 2020.
Key Findings
The Trans-East African Highway connects the capitals of Ethiopia and Kenya, and is part of the bigger Trans-Africa Highway that runs from Egypt through Sudan to the north, and Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana to the south. Several other projects are also currently being implemented including the Northern Corridor Transport Improvement Project and Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor. These regional developments will boost tourism across the region with inbound arrivals expected to reach over seven million by 2020.
