Policy Brief No. 01 of 2004 on Vision and Long Term Development Strategy for Kenya's Tourism Industry

Abstract

The capacity of the country to offer luxury tourism has been largely compromised crowding, over-development of facilities, competition for tourists, insecurity, poor infrastructure in general, and environmental degradation. Even though the Government now realizes the superiority of up-market or a blend of upmarket and mass tourism, attracting high-level tourism is a difficult task. The present situation in the tourism sector is attributable to lack of adequate reflection, consultation, and planning.
