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 Victoria 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.
