Tour operators in Kenya have called on the national and county governments to urgently improve infrastructure in key tourism destinations, warning that poor roads, inadequate park facilities, and weak air connectivity could undermine the country’s tourism industry and visitor experience.
Speaking while hosting a delegation of 125 African-American lawyers and judges from the US-based National Bar Association, Twiga Tours CEO Shazmin Manji, said Kenya’s tourism sector can only remain competitive if infrastructure challenges are addressed quickly through stronger collaboration between government agencies and private operators.
“When we look at the road networks within the parks, these sometimes need a lot of work. The recent flooding and rains have caused some challenges,” said Manji.
