the Community as a Single Tourist Destination while conserving and ensuring sustainable utilisation of wildlife and other tourist sites.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Tourism is one of the most significant sectors in all the economies of the EAC region. The sector contributes an average of about <strong>17%</strong> to export earnings and its contribution to GDP is quite substantial averaging at around <strong>10%</strong>. It generates about <strong>7%</strong> of employment in the region. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, tourism has important linkages with other sectors of the economy including agriculture, manufacturing, insurance, and finance among others. The sector grew steadily in all the EAC Partner States with total international tourism arrivals increasing from <strong>3.47 million </strong>to <strong>6.95 million</strong> between <strong>2006</strong> and <strong>2019.</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">However, this steady growth was disrupted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 that brought about a sharp drop in international arrivals in all EAC Partner States. Despite the drop, there are signs of strong recovery in the region and it is anticipated the pre-pandemic levels of performance could be achieved by <strong>2024</strong>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Owing to its socio-economic significance in the region, tourism is one of the key productive sectors that have been identified for cooperation in EAC. Cooperation in the sector is provided for under Article 115 of the EAC Treaty where Partner States undertake to develop a collective and coordinated approach to the promotion and marketing of quality tourism into and within the Community.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In particular, Partner States undertake to:</p> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li><strong>Co-ordinate policies </strong>in the tourism industry and establish a framework of cooperation in the sector that will ensure equitable distribution of benefits;<br /><br /></li> <li>Establish <strong>a common code of conduct for private and public tour and travel operators, standardize hotel classifications and harmonize the professional standards of</strong> <strong>agents</strong>; and<strong> <br /><br /></strong></li> <li>Develop a <strong>regional strategy for tourism promotion whereby individual efforts are reinforced by regional action</strong></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;">Related to tourism, EAC Partner States cooperate in<strong> wildlife conservation</strong> as stipulated by Article 116 of the EAC Treaty where the Partner States undertake to develop a collective and coordinated policy for conservation and sustainable utilization of wildlife and other tourist sites in the Community: In particular, the Partner States undertake to:</p> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Harmonize policies</strong> on wildlife conservation;<br /><br /></li> <li><strong>Exchange information</strong>;<br /><br /></li> <li>co-ordinate efforts in<strong> controlling and monitoring encroachment and poaching activities</strong>; and<br /><br /></li> <li>Encourage the <strong>joint use of training and research facilities and common management plans for trans-border protected areas</strong>.</li> </ul> <p>In line with the above provisions of the Treaty, notable progress has been made in various aspects such as the development of common classification for tourism accommodation establishments and restaurants; joint tourism promotion and having a coordinated approach in combating poaching and illegal wildlife trade.</p> <p>In addition, a<strong> Draft Protocol on Tourism and Wildlife Management</strong> has been developed and was adopted by the 41<sup>st</sup> Meeting of the Council of Ministers in November 2021. The adopted protocol will be finalized through the Sectoral Council on Legal and Judicial Affairs. Once finalized, the Protocol will strengthen collaboration among Partner States in both the tourism and wildlife sectors.</p> <p> </p> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Key Regional Programmes

<p> </p> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sector Opportunities</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: justify;">Tourism in the East African region has many opportunities. While affording travelers an impressive range of options for exploration and relaxation, the region presents incredible potential for investors across the tourism value chain.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This includes investment opportunities in the tourism accommodation sub-sector, attraction sites, tour operations, and travel agents among others. Partner States offer diverse investment incentives such as custom duty exemptions for certain items used in the sector.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />Sector Challenges</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the challenges facing the tourism and wildlife sector include:</p> <ul style="list-style-type: square;
