The Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) has revoked the licences of four tour operators for breaching industry regulations, including the employment of unlicensed drivers.
In a statement on Saturday, September 6, TRA's Director-General, Norbert Tallam, revealed that the operators would not be permitted to operate in the country again until they had met all the requirements set out. "We are here to ensure that Kenya's tourism sector is properly regulated.
Rogue operators and unlicensed drivers must come forward and regularise their businesses or they will not be allowed to operate," he said.
TRA revealed that the violations that led to the revocation of the licences included the use of unlicensed drivers and the defrauding of tourists during the booking process.
