Last update: 5 hours agoU.S. Visa Access for Travelers: The U.S. State Department plans to cut routine visa-processing posts across Africa from nearly 50 to just 20 “hub” cities, with the change expected in June—meaning many applicants may have to travel farther for interviews and paperwork. West Africa Hub List: The hubs include Lagos and Lomé (Togo), plus Accra, Abidjan, Dakar, Monrovia and Praia, positioning West Africa as a key gateway for U.S.-bound tourists and business travelers. Tourism & Mobility Link: Ethiopian Airlines announced thrice-weekly direct flights from Addis Ababa to Port Louis starting July 12, a move that should make Mauritius easier to reach for international visitors. Clean-Energy Hospitality: Heritage Park Hotel says a new large solar system now powers up to 95% of its electricity needs, aiming to cut diesel use and keep operations steady for guests. Togo Culture & Education: Togo’s Culture and Tourism minister says talks are underway about a future “Russian House” in Togo to expand Russian-language learning and cultural exchanges. Sustainable Transport Investment: Spiro, operating in Togo among other countries, raised $215m to expand battery-swapping electric mobility infrastructure across Africa.
