Regional low-cost airline Jambojet is set to open a new route from Mombasa to Zanzibar starting in July 2024.
The route will connect the two coastal destinations that share a rich cultural heritage and offer stunning beaches and attractions.
Tourism is a vital sector for the economies of the East African Community (EAC) region. It contributes about 17% to export earnings, about 10% to GDP, and about 7% to employment.
The EAC Tourism Marketing Strategy aims to position the region as Africa’s leading sustainable tourism destination with five key objectives, including developing competitive multi-destination tourism products and branding East Africa as a single tourism destination.
Jambojet MD & CEO, Mr Karanja Ndegwa, said that Jambojet is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and accessible connectivity to support multi-destination travel in the region.
He said that the new Mombasa-Zanzibar route is a testament to Jambojet’s role as a catalyst for tourism growth and expansion in East Africa.
