Zimbabwe joins Ethiopia in having its ETA requirements to travel to Kenya lifted. Additionally, Kenya has also removed the ETA requirements for travelers from Eritrea, South Africa, Mozambique, San Marino, Comoros, Botswana, and the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville).<\/p>\n<p>Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Minister Musalia Mudavadi revealed in March that the new travel requirements have led to a significant increase in tourism. Between January and March, Kenya received 330,000 visitors using ETA compared to 188,570 who used the previous eVisa system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zimbabwean travelers heading to Kenya will no longer need to pay for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) when applying to visit, according to an announcement by Michael Chiwoneso Mukura, spokesperson for Zimbabwe\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
