Significant benefits would be gained if regional circuit routes allowed a traveler to reach multiple destinations for the price of going to his destination. Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Alfred Mutua said this.
As a region, we must invest additional resources to promote regional tourism.
The fair provides a platform to discuss how best to present the region’s attractions to local and international visitors.
