MOMBASA, KENYA: Coast hotels recorded an impressive Easter weekend with occupancy averaging over 80 per cent, the Kenya Association of Hotelkeepers and Caterers has said.

Branch executive officer Sam Ikwaye said the increased hotel occupancy was as a result of the school holidays and access to faster and cheaper transport.
