Kenya's hopes rise after Treasury releases cash for tourism

Things are looking up for the tourism industry after the Government announced the release of Sh5.2 billion for the sector's recovery programme.

Yesterday, industry players were upbeat the sector that plunged to the lowest levels in the last two years following terror attacks in the country would recover quickly. More than 20 hotels in Malindi, Mombasa, Diani, Lamu and Watamu were closed as a result and over 30,000 hotel workers laid off.
