Other markets that have been identified by KTB for development are Nigeria plus other wealthy countries in Western Africa, in which Kenya Airways operates daily.
The tourism sector, following one year of financial deficiency for KTB and the unending efforts of the country in promoting tourism, is currently waiting for the budget to be read in March, as figures will then be published of how much has been allocated in the tourism funding for the financial year of 2014 – 15 and whether Phyllis Kandie the cabinet secretary can actually deliver on the promises which he made to the industry regarding increasing expenditure on marketing tourism.
