In a bid to ease entry from key tourism source markets, the Zambian government has waived visa requirements for selected countries.
The Zambia Tourism Authority announced that, with effect from October 1, there would be no visas required for travellers from the UK, the US, Canada, Norway, Australia, China, South Korea, Gulf Estates and the European Union.
The country’s President Hakainde Hichelema said in a recent Budget speech that Zambia was focused on increasing the number of foreign visitors to the country. “Tourism is huge business, yet we have not marketed Zambia well in the past.”
Zambia is home to the world-famous Victoria Falls, vast wildlife resources, varied scenery, wilderness, diverse culture and national heritage, adventure activities and more.
