(TAN): Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is satisfied with the measures being taken by stakeholders in the hospitality sector to protect tourists from Covid-19.
In a recent statement, the President said Kenya is ready to receive tourists and encouraged both domestic and international tourists to take advantage of the prevailing low rates to visit the country’s famous tourist sites.
“I want to take this opportunity to encourage every single Kenyan to take advantage and to travel…. You can travel, you can move,” Kenyatta said. “We have also opened up our skies and flights are coming. We welcome all those who choose to come.”

This comes as East Africa’s biggest tourist draw — the wildebeest migration — went largely unnoticed with hardly any foreign tourists able to travel to the region.
The President urged Kenyans as well as visitors to continue observing the COVID-19 containment protocols and emphasised that safety is not a government responsibility but an individual choice.
“Safety is not really just a Government issue. It is an individual choice. To remain safe and by so doing, keep everybody else safe,” he said.
