Ensuring a fair distribution of jabs, vaccinating all and producing products that are friendly to Kenyans and cutting park fees by 50 per cent will enable more people to visit them.
The hospitality and transport sector also contribute to making tourism what it is.
In, Kenya we are one of the major exporters of hospitality and for tourism to be alive, there must be food for visitors and that should be at favourable prices.
High transportation cost adversely affects the overall performance of this sector.
Another challenge is the danger of drought and hunger in the country with 65 per cent not affording three meals a day meaning there will be a shortage of food hence increased cost of living.
The beauty of Kenya is in its diversity and resources endowment.
However, greed for money and poverty can't allow us to take care of our wildlife.
Among other vital metrics in this sector, deforestation and climatic conditions are a slap towards the realisation of Kenya wildlife objectives.
It's time the government takes responsibility to ensure both private and government agencies work together to boost our economy.
To encourage local and even international tourists, their safety must be guaranteed, observe Covid-19 protocols and punish those who are defiant.
Also, more funds should be allocated to improve infrastructures and re-energise systems as per the Big Four agenda and Vision 2030.
