She said governments need to also reduce hurdles, in particular compliance or investment, for start-ups and smaller companies in the sector; lower bureaucracy hurdles in obtaining permits, licences and corporate filings; improve ease of doing business; and implement tax breaks for investors, among others to attract private sector financing in tourism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe challenges are many but they are not insurmountable. Our governments need to address a number of issues that include the lack of regional tourism visa for easy multi-country travel, address the marketing gap of destinations and related issues if things are to improve in our sector in Eastern Africa,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants are also looking at specific tourism projects in the region, in particular financing tourism SMEs and public sector perspectives. They also discussed the financing of mega tourism projects in East Africa, in particular the case of the Rwanda Convention Centre which has changed the face of Kigali in various positive ways, making the City one of the most popular destinations for conferences in Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AEGM, which is part of the 22<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts (ICE) which is being held under the theme;\u00a0<em>Implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area in Eastern Africa: From Vision to Action,<\/em>\u00a0is being attended by experts from Eastern African countries, as well as representatives of the private sector, civil society organizations, and other relevant institutions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A two-day Ad-Hoc Expert Group Meeting opened in Kigali Wednesday with participants exploring avenues through which financing for tourism development in the Eastern Africa region could be sustained in line with the African Union\u2019s Agenda 2063 and the global Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
