Port dredging works put a dent to tourism fortunes: Hoteliers lobby states

Ongoing dredging works at the Port of Mombasa being undertaken by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has brought with it massive economic losses in the tourism sector.

A social - economic impact study commissioned by the Kenya Association of Hotel Keepers and Caterers (KAHC) has found that sea sand harvesting is being carried out on the South Coast of Kenya – at Waa and Tiwi in Kwale county – and the dredged materials from Kilindini Port area are dumped at Shelly Beach in Mombasa.
