Kenya is seeking to boost tourism revenue by integrating cultural tourism with convention tourism, a move expected to enrich visitor experiences while repositioning the sector as a key driver of economic growth.

The push comes as the country increasingly looks beyond traditional wildlife safaris and beaches to diversify tourism products through heritage, indigenous knowledge, arts, and eco-cultural experiences.

Despite disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism remains one of the world’s leading economic sectors, contributing about 10.3 per cent of global GDP before the outbreak.
