World Travel Awards show Kenya’s tourism product is best in Africa

When the Africa winners in the 23rd World Travel Awards were announced, Kenya was the biggest winner. Out of some 57 categories, Kenyan tour and travel firms scooped at least 20 slots, leaving the rest of Africa to fight for the rest.

In what appears to be a case of trouble on the ground but stability in the air, Kenya Airways, a firm that has been in the news lately for the turbulence in its finances, was one of the biggest winners. KQ as it is fondly called scooped the award for Africa's Leading Airline, and Africa's Leading Airline - Business Class. Leaving the likes of South African Airways and Ethiopian Airlines in its wake.
