One of the practical aspects of air travel is the ease with which people travelling from one country to another can enter a country. In Africa, there is increasing attention paid to the role that visas play in this. According to the Africa Visa Openness Index. Africans do not need a visa to travel to 25% of other African countries and in 2018 this figure was up from 22% in 2017, and 20% in 2016.
The fact that more African countries are opening up visa free travel to citizens of other African countries is a combination of the recognition of the importance of this for African integration and economic development, but also the way in which technology is streamlining processes which used to be cumbersome and bureaucratic.
