Domestic Tourism in East Africa
Domestic Tourism is gaining momentum in East Africa. The hotel
industry has several packages for residents of Kenya ,Uganda and
Tanzania. These packages include the Flight fees, Airport transfers,
Hotel accommodations and sometimes All inclusive trip package.
These packages are encouraged during Low seasons when hotel occupancies
are low.
It
is not a wonder to mention that many Kenyans do not Know the availability
of tourism destinations in Kenya. This applies to the neighboring
countries of Uganda and Tanzania. Take a sample of Ten (10) Kenya
executives and ask them who amongst them have been to a game park,
you will be surprised to learn that half (50%) of then have never
seen an Elephant alive. Most Kenyans assume that the cost of tourism
is so high that it is cheaper driving to the Rural homestead than
to the coast of Mombasa or the Lodge in Maasai Mara for a weekend
retreat, and that it is the white person who should go for a holiday
in the various hotels and lodges in the wild and the coast.
We
at Bush Art Africa Safaris encourage various Multi-national companies,
government departments, parastatals, individuals and NGO’s
to finance tours for their executives and family to the game parks
and to the coastal hotels and Lodges where we have subsidized
contract rates for accommodation and conference facilities. Africans
should know Africa better than the white person from outside Africa,
the latter being the case presently.
