Representatives of the pilot group of Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries are evaluating the consolidation of security aspects within the framework of the implementation of a single tourism visa (UNIVISA).
The region approved in 2008 the creation of a group formed by Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe to join the UNIVISA Pilot Working Group for its implementation in the region.
Presently, seven SADC member states are part of this evaluation team, namely Angola, South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and Lesotho.
Angola’s Foreign Affairs ministry said in a statement that the meeting, which is taking place in the country, will also examine the draft agreement of SADC, which establishes the single tourism visa.
UNIVISA was conceived in 1999 by the Southern African Regional Tourism Organisation to facilitate the easy movement of international tourists in the region.
