According
to report, Kenya’s impressive performance has been as a result of efforts
by various stakeholders like the Government, marketing agencies and tour
operators to promote the country as a favorable tourist destination both abroad
and locally. “Kenya is ranked 14th for its natural resources, with its three
World Heritage natural sites and its rich diversity of fauna,” reads the report
in part. In addition to this, efforts by various governmental institutions like
the Kenya Tourism Board and the Kenya Wildlife Service to promote domestic
tourism seem to be bearing fruit stimulated by a growing middle class that
provides a ready market for tourism and travel products.
This
is commendable but despite the improved rating Kenya is still struggling with
the poaching activities that have seen the death of many elephants from January
to now. Below is an interesting fact about elephants that will melt your heart.
Our greatest setback is that half of the population in Kenya have no idea what is happening to our wildlife. If you are in a position to share this please do.
