Africa-Press – Zambia. THE Ministry of Tourism welcomes and commends the historic decision by the Governments of the Republic of Zambia and the Republic of Ghana to introduce a visa-free travel arrangement between the two sister nations.
The landmark development was announced after the signing of a memorandum of understanding by Zambia and Ghana witnessed by the two heads of state during the official State Visit of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama to Zambia. This marks a significant milestone in strengthening bilateral relations and advancing Africa’s integration agenda.
For the first time in the history of Ghana-Zambia relations, citizens of both countries will enjoy visa-free travel, thereby facilitating seamless movement for tourists, business communities, students, professionals and cultural practitioners. This progressive step is expected to stimulate tourism growth, boost trade and investment, promote cultural exchange and deepen people-to-people relations.
The Ministry views this agreement as a powerful demonstration of Zambia’s commitment to open skies, open borders and inclusive development. It aligns with the African Union’s vision of a connected, prosperous and integrated continent under Agenda 2063.
As Zambia continues to position itself as a preferred tourism and investment destination, this initiative reinforces our resolve to remove barriers that hinder intra-African travel and economic collaboration.
The Ministry of Tourism urges other African nations to emulate this bold example by embracing visa-free travel frameworks that promote unity, shared prosperity and sustainable development across the continent.
