ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- The news, if indeed accurate – the source is not known to exaggerate or mislead – will be the first major set of good news Kenya's tourism stakeholders will have received in the two years of this government in place and it can only be hoped that the additional funding is put to the best possible use to make Kenya shine again abroad.
- The Tourism Recovery Task Force had in March handed in a detailed report to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Tourism but until the news broke over the apparent sharp rise in the country's marketing budget were few if any signs emerging from government circles how the response to the list of extensive recommendations and demands would be.
- However, all these efforts cannot make up for the loss of key markets like the UK and parts of Europe and the available funding, when and IF it is fully disbursed – the Kenyan parliament will first have to approve the budget of course – will assist to launch major recovery marketing efforts in former core markets while also working new and emerging markets hard.
