Africa-Press – Angola. The process of granting a tourist visa to Angola is now quicker, in an action that aims to boost activity in the sector and increase revenue collection for the country.
The measure was approved by the Council of Ministers, which met this Wednesday in an ordinary session led by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço.
With this action, the Angolan Government seeks to promote tourism, trade and, consequently, increase employment in different sectors of the economy.
