The Magical Kenya Tourism Expo that is going to run from 15th- 17th October 2015 is anticipated to host about 180 prime trade representatives from about 35 destinations that will in turn enable the tourism sector in the region to flourish.
Kenya is dedicated to taking the participants around the country to explore the magical heritage, wildlife and recreation before settling for the main expo. The range of travel agents, the hoteliers, and tour operators including Prime Uganda Safaris & Tours Ltd represented by Samuel Makanga and travel media originating from Africa, Asia, Americas and Europe will make the expo colorful and significant to the regional tourism development.
The 2015 Magical Kenya Tourism Expo is the fifth of its kind and it will be held at Kwale the Kenya’s Coastal region. The expo is running under the theme Sustainability; Keeping the Magic Alive. The expo has gained ground steadily marked by the 40% increase in the number of exhibitors for the last four years.
The expo is bringing a significant addition to the marketing efforts that are aiming at re-positioning East Africa as a tourist destination globally and shade off the image of terror that has affected Kenya greatly because of the common terror attacks. The expo will mark the tourism revival and act as a perfect ground for business to business interaction and also business to customer interaction thus generating market and increase the tourist arrivals in the region including those on safaris to Uganda.
Tourism continues to play a significant role in the economic development of the regional states as it stands as Kenya’s second foreign exchange earner and the first in Rwanda and while in 2013, it topped the foreign exchange earnings in Uganda.
