Kenya’s Tourism … Look at the Future
Nairobi (Kenya) – October 16, 2013 – KTB was part of the teams supporting the many Kenyans and residents of all races who have come forward to donate blood. KTB and other government agencies in the Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism hosted a hospitality tent on site to provide snacks and drinks to both the security teams at the blood donation venue as well as the blood donors.
In addition, KTB will be making a donation through the efforts of staff to the Kenya Road Cross to enable the purchase of various medical supplies to enhance coping with the large numbers that have turned out to donate blood, post attack trauma counseling as well as sending messages of support to those affected using local media channels.
KTB also continues to engage the local media to win back Kenyans to enjoying their own country through local travel, shopping and other activities that indeed confirm that Kenya is safe.
KTB will share with the MDRs offices on social media and otherwise testimonials by both local and international tourists to give their first hand perception of Kenya as a tourist destination even at this time of the unanticipated tragedy.
KTB will continue to reach out to all the MDR offices through frequent updates which can be used to re-assure and inform the travel trade on any new destination information. These can be customized to suit the various markets for use on a need basis.
We appeal to all the MKTE delegates to support Kenya and visit as planned in solidarity as part of the international community well aware that terrorism is a global vice that must be fought in unity. Kenya still remains a tourism destination of choice.
Please feel free to send in any inquiries that you may have from both media and trade as the events unfold. We will keep you updated.
