Nyeri Trade, Tourism, Culture and Cooperatives, Chief Officer, George Mwangi has called for enhanced measures to help boost the tourism sector in the country.
Mwangi says for the country to reap maximum benefits from the multibillion industry, the Government must invest in popularizing the sector right from the grassroots to enable counties to become part of the drivers of the sector.
The Chief Officer was speaking Monday at the FK Resort during a regional stakeholders meeting on the Draft National Tourism Policy and Tourism Act 2024. "Many Kenyans do not have knowledge about tourism attraction sites in Kenya.
For example, Nyeri County has a good number of tourist attractions including the Baden Powell monuments, the Italian Memorial church among others yet local residents rarely visit them," said Mwangi.
