Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania will cooperatively advocate East Africa as a tourist destination.

East Africa is to be marketed as one tourist attraction because all the three countries have common tourism potential.

The general manager of Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) James Bahinguza said the tourist boards of the three countries are meeting in Arusha, Tanzania, this week to work out strategies that would enable tourists visit the region easily.

Bahinguza said some of the issues to be discussed are issuing of one visa to tourists to East Africa to allow them move in the three countries without being disturbed at border posts. There was a need to open borders and recruit employees at the borders and airports should be made friendly.
