As travel picks up steam in 2022, Henley and Partners presents the case for global mobility limitations across 227 travel destinations, citing ‘tests, vaccine certification, and at times mandatory quarantines’ as the main reasons which explain slow travel recovery, in its Global Mobility Index for the year, the first in a series of its quarterly reports.

Seychelles retains its position as the leading country in Africa at the 28^th place globally (Q4 2021: 29^th), followed closely by Mauritius which has shot to the 31^st spot from its 33^rd position in the 2021 Q4 Index. These rankings certify the countries’ statuses as the most travel friendly passports on the continent, with Seychelles and Mauritius providing visa-free/visa-on arrival access to 152 and 146 destinations respectively.

The Index was put together from data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Henley & Partners' research team.
