Add Zambia to the UK list of quarantine-exempt countries.

Petition Details

Tourists and other travellers wanting to go to Zambia are being severely restricted because of the 14 day return quarantine and it's damaging Zambia's economy - particularly tourism, which affects anto-poaching and conservation funding. Zambia's number of coronavirus cases and death toll is low!

Additional Information

A snap poll of members of the Eco-Tourism Association of Zambia (ETAZ) suggests that Zambia’s safari tourism and allied sectors such as Airlines and charters would suffer a loss in income of USD100 million in 2020. Out of 257 lodges and camps, 165 have closed down already. Over 7000 jobs are likely to be lost. 165 tourism businesses in Livingstone and Zambia’s protected areas face bankruptcy.
