A MUST READ TOURISM/ AIR TRAVEL / MIDDLE EAST WAR. Tourism and aviation are generally bedfellows, aviation can’t survive without tourism and tourism cant survive without aviation. Uganda or East Africa or Africa as whole in general depends or survives on global aviation and disruption in Global aviation is a disruption on Africas tourism. Intra Africa tourism is majorly supported by African airlines with Ethiopian airlines at the forefront, others are Kenya airways, South African, Egypt air etc. Story changes with tourists from outside Africa, 40% of all the arrivals in Africa are by European airlines, the likes of KLM, Turkish, British airways, Air France etc. The next 25% of the tourism inflows into Africa are by the Middle East airlines, the Qatars of the world, emirates, etihad, fly Dubai etc. The Middle East airlines collect tourists from Asia pacific, far east, Europe and America too into Africa and therefore, any disruption affects us directly. Next 20% is by Africa carriers like the Ethiopian airlines, Kenya airways, South African airways, Egypt air etc and yes figures will change as African carriers become stronger and stronger but for now, the reality is what am writing about. Asian airlines carriers brings in about 8% of all the inflows from outside Africa, American carriers do about 5% and 2% by Australian carriers. Africa will see growth in aviation as Intra Africa tourism grows which is partly pushed by the animosity of the likes of America through their visa regimes etc It’s expected that more than 300m Africans will be flying within Africa by 2035 which isn’t far from now, the middle class in Africa which is growing segment will influence that too. African countries waking up to open sky policy and visa policies are going to drive not only trade but tourism too. Africa trades with its self about 16% but will change soon. 84% is Africas trade is with other continents. Food for thought.
