Tanzania, Feb. 14 -- Nairobi. African airlines are on track to surpass their pre-pandemic passenger traffic levels for the first time, as tourism also makes a full comeback.

Pent-up demand for travel is expected to fuel the full recovery of Africa's aviation and tourism sectors, with both inbound and outbound travel showing impressive performance, according to recent air travel research.

Tourists, long confined by the constraints of the pandemic and with vacation savings, will make up the bulk of visitors to the continent.

This surge in demand is expected to not only resuscitate the aviation sector but also propel the tourism industry to new heights. Egypt, Kenya and South Africa are expected to witness the biggest rebound.
