TOURISM TALK ANGIE SLOAN REGIONAL DIRECTOR AT KENYA TOURIST BOARD: “The Kenyan Tourist Board is very excited to be launching a series of integrated campaigns between September and November to stimulate consumer demand whilst incentivising and educating the trade to sell. We want to give sales agents the tools to up-sell holidays to Kenya to increase
their own and their companies' revenue opportunities. Kenya is a favourite with tour operators – it is a complicated destination for consumers to self- package and thus they look for expertise from the trade when booking a holiday to the destination. “The UK continues to be the main
supplier of international visitors to Kenya and growth is consistent with targets. The British are interested in Kenya for its historical roots as well as the massive diversity of product available to cater for so many different types of market. We need to ensure we are continually educating consumers and trade alike about new developments and new areas to be opened up to tourism.”
