The country’s Vice President, Rtd. Gen. Constantino Chiwenga recently said that government is aiming to move away from the trend in most African countries, where almost two-thirds of the world’s population must obtain visas before entering. Even Rwanda’s progressive visa regime has allowed the open border policy, which allows visitors from across the globe and would be issued visas on arrival.

As a part of improving its relations with India and inviting more tourists to Zimbabwe, the move for an easier visa regime, is aimed to bring economic growth, increase in tourism industry, and strengthening of the ties between the two nations.

“Zimbabwe should take advantage of the international community’s confidence in the new administration to market the country as a preferred destination for tourists and investors.” Chiwenga said.

The government has also planned to revamp airline facilities by revamping their national carrier Air Zimbabwe, to provide better facilities to commuters within and outside the country.
