The portal has a My Trip-Planner function that allows tourists to check for tour packages and operators to provide quotations for selected packages. Tourists can also find information on this portal, and can easily apply for the East Africa Single Tourist Visa.
Created under the stewardship of the countries’ tourism boards, the shared platform was put in place to enable tourists have access to credible travel information on services to the region and also for travel trade operators to place their multi-country packages promoting the East Africa region as a single tourist destination.
Over 830 regional tour operators and travel agents are already registered on the platform as the region joins efforts to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. More travel operators are welcome to join the platform at no cost by registering through their respective country tour associations.
