New plans for tourism at the Coast

Saturday, June 8, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY CHARLES MGHENYI
TOURISM permanent secretary Ruth Solitei, has said plans are on to rejuvenate tourism sector at the coast under the second five year Medium Term Plan.
Speaking during the 65th Mombasa and Coast Tourism Association annual general meeting in Mombasa, Solitei said the plan will focus on beach and cruise tourism.
She said while the national tourism performance has been remarkable over the years, there has been marked decline on arrival to the coast.
The PS urged tourism sector investor sin the region to diversify to other products to compliment the beach tourism.
She said there are plans to develop a business and convention centre in Mombasa to promote meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions tourism.
“We are fortunate that Bamburi cement has already donated a land for this facility to be put up,” she said.
