AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoAviation & Tourism: Lomé will host the AFCAC African Air Transport Convention & Expo 2026 from June 15–19, bringing together 500+ aviation and investment players to push the Single African Air Transport Market, cut taxes/charges, expand air cargo, speed up digital upgrades, and promote sustainable fuels—expected to end with a ministerial declaration and new cooperation mechanisms. Visa-Free Push for Travelers: At Biashara Afrika 2026 in Lomé, Togo announced visa-free entry for all Africans with valid African passports for up to 30 days (with security/travel requirements), adding momentum to AfCFTA-style free movement. Regional Travel Access (South Africa): The Henley Passport Index update says South African passport holders can now visit Togo visa-free, lifting visa-free access to 101 destinations even as the passport ranking slips to 51st. Border & Mobility Context: A broader wave of African visa easing is noted alongside tighter US visa processing—US consular services in Africa are set to shrink to 20 hubs, including Lomé—meaning more travel and higher costs for some applicants. Electric Mobility (Ghana): In Ghana’s north, electric bikes are gaining ground as riders seek cleaner, quieter commutes after restrictions on petrol motorbikes.
