Kenya has finally implemented its promise of a borderless Africa, scrapping all Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) requirements for all African countries except Libya and Somalia.

This is in fulfilment of the government's proposal issued in January that sought to open up the skies for all African countries for tourism growth.

In the proposal, Libya and Somalia are the only two African countries sidelined due to security concerns. "As part of efforts to support open skies policies and tourism growth, a key proposal is to grant ETA exemptions to all African countries, except Somalia and Libya, due to security concerns," a dispatch from the cabinet read in part.
