Top 10 African Air Travel Destinations in 2016
Tanzania
is among the top 10 African destinations by international air arrivals for the
period January-August 2016.
This was
indicated in a recent analysis on international air travel to East Africa by
ForwardKeys, a Spanish company focused on traveler data intelligence.
The analysis
ranks Tanzania 8th with 3% share of total international air arrivals to Africa.
South Africa ranks 1st with 13% share,
followed by Egypt with 9%, Morocco (8%), Mauritius (5%), Kenya (4%), Algeria
(4%), Tunisia (4%), Tanzania (3%), Ethiopia (3%), Nigeria (2%) and other
countries in Africa (45%). Olivier Jager, CEO of ForwardKeys, said: “We are
seeing a tale of two Africas, with North African countries suffering from
political instability and terror activities and Sub Saharan African countries
powering ahead […].
” “Looking
ahead to the remainder of the year, the picture is highly encouraging for East
Africa,” ForwardKeys’ notes. International bookings for travel to East African
countries, up to the end of December are 17.3% ahead of where they were at this
time last year.
Tanzania
