Kenya is projecting to receive three million tourists by the end of this year following a steady recovery of the tourism sector in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic that wreaked havoc in 2020 following total lock down.
Tourism Principal Secretary, John Lekakeny Ololtuaa, said prior to the advent of Covid -19, the sector contributed nearly 10 per cent of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) but this dipped to its lowest levels.
However, he added that things are looking up as the sector is well on the track to recovery.
Speaking during the official launch of the development of the National Tourism Strategy (NTS) 2025-2030 in Naivasha on Wednesday, the PS said the country has since 2021 witnessed an increased number of international visitors recording a 34 per cent growth.
