The African Travel & Tourism Association (Atta) has launched a petition to put pressure on the UK government to create travel corridors between the UK and African destinations.

Two UK agent fam trips to Cape Town are set to take place this year

The travel trade has been urged to back the new campaign, called Open African Travel, which aims to “open up Africa for UK travellers”.

“African countries have been opening their borders since the start of September,” said Atta. “We are calling for your help to put pressure on Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and Public Health England to apply the same travel metrics to African countries that are applied for the rest of the world.
