KENYA TOURIST BOARD

"Since the year 2004 when Kenya Tourist Board contracted Interface Tourism as the Market Destination Representatives in France, the following achievements have been realized for Kenya as a destination. Tourist arrivals which had been stagnating and experiencing negative growths over the past four years were reversed and today Kenya’s arrivals from France are within 25% increase annually.

Reassurance to the trade was reinforced following the closure of the National Tourist Offices in 1998 after which time the trade lost confidence in Kenya, and lacked a contact reference in the market and a fast response to enquiries especially in case of crisis. Increased interest in the Kenya destination to be offered by tour operators some of whom have increased their brochure pages with Kenya offer.

Fresh interest by tour operators who had not offered Kenya before, and also airlines who have introduced Kenya in their schedules following the increase in tourist traffic into the destination. This arose from the tireless dedication by IT to seek new partners in the market. Improved Kenya image and continuous positive coverage of Kenya by the key trade press and also consumer magazines following monthly press releases and newsletters keeping the press fully updated on any news from the destination.

“These achievements have been realised within a period of three years as a result of the continuous, dedicated and tireless efforts of IT who have not only acted as the voice for Kenya’s tourism in France but also as an advisor on wise strategic directions. IT’s professionalism and powerful networks in the travel trade and government bodies in France have also elevated Kenya’s bargaining power within the various business circles in tourism."
