The National Treasury should increase the budgetary allocation to tourism recovery efforts to 6 billion shillings in the next financial year to finance full recover of the sector. Kenya Tourism Board Managing Director Betty Radier says the 5.2 billion shillings allocated in the current financial year has helped revitalize the sector but it is not to the expected level hence the board’s appeal for a 15 percent increase in allocations. She says the cash would be invested in among others tourism marketing, product diversification and domestic tourism campaigns.
