Kenya is famed for its awesome safaris and wonderful beaches. The country attracts visitors from UK and Netherlands in Europe, and from far off Asian countries like UAE and India as well.

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), tourism is the most important industry after agriculture and generates 14 percent of the country’s GDP. It also employs around 12 percent of the population. More visitors are expected to come in for an eye popping view of the Big Five, the Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Buffalo, and the Leopard as they roam freely in their natural habitat.

Besides leisure travel, Kenya also attracts business travelers who work in industries like food production, engineering and construction, communication, telecommunications, aviation and motor vehicle manufacturing. Tourism is expected to continue its growth trajectory well into the next decade.

But the key to successfully growing tourism and attracting more revenue into the country lies with the ability of the industry to adopt technology, work smarter and offer an increasingly pleasant guest experience.
