Envoys representing Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda on Monday launched a Single Tourist Visa in the US capital in a joint effort to woo prospective tourists from the North American nation.
Kenya’s Charge de Affairs, Jean Njeri Kamau, joined her two colleagues – Rwanda’s Mathilde Mukantabana and Uganda’s Oliver Wonekha - at a symbolic ceremony held at the Rwandese Embassy on Connecticut Avenue in Washington DC.

Speaking during the event attended by stakeholders from the tourism and aviation industries, Ms Kamau said American tourists wishing to visit the three countries on a single trip will now pay $100 for a 90-day multiple-entry visa.
