TOURISM players have rejected a levy hike by Kwale county government on all tourists visiting the region. Mombasa and Coast Tourist Association executive director Millicent Odhiambo said the levy is illegal.
The Kwale county government imposed a USD1 (Sh85) hike above the normal USD20 (Sh1,700) charged at gates to all parks by KWS starting February this year.
Odhiambo told the Star tourism players have not been consulted. “We heard about it and when we followed up the matter, the county government officials hampered our efforts,” she said.
“We know the county wants to make quick money from the sector. But it was unscrupulous for them to impose the charges without following the right channels,” she said.
