The vice president of the World Travel Awards has applauded Kenya on its consistency in showcasing the quality tourism product it has.
This is after Magical Kenya won five destination awards at the 2016 World Travel Awards Africa & the Indian Ocean Islands Gala Ceremony held at the Diamond La Gemma Hotel in Zanzibar on Saturday.
Speaking at the event, Chris Frost, the Vice President of the Word Travel Awards applauded Kenya on her consistency in showcasing the quality tourism product that the country has.
“Kenya is a destination of choice for many and we are delighted that the industry continues to step up quality service to all the visitors to Kenya, the previous challenges that the country has had have not dampened their spirit to showcase their country and we all need to learn from Kenya in order to bring more benefits of tourism to Africa and the Indian ocean Islands,” Chris Frost said.
