Foreword Tourism Board joins forces with KATO in promoting Kenya

ollowing a peaceful and successful general election in F Kenya early this year under the new constitution, the restructuring of government ministries placed tourism under the Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism.

The government has further set targets geared towards raising the overall contribution of tourism as part of the country’s economic growth. For the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB), the challenge is to grow international arrivals to 3 million in the next few years. To achieve the targets set for the industry, KTB continues to work closely with the private sector bodies including the Kenya Association of Tour Operators (KATO), especially in marketing.

Over the years, KATO has grown in terms of its membership and credibility due to the stringent vetting and binding agreements that are made between the Association and its members. There We take this opportunity to thank KATO members who have has been a deliberate effort by KATO to ensure that all the continued to work closely with KTB and participated in the members are bound by a code of conduct that ensures, among annual Magical Kenya Travel Expo (MKTE) over the last two other things, a sense of integrity and quality service to the editions.
