Kenya Airways and KLM have partnered with one of the largest charter airline operators in Europe – TUI to boost tourism numbers in Kenya.
The partnership targets tourists taking package trips to Kenya’s top destinations including the coastal towns of Mombasa and Diani as well as the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Under the partnership, TUI (formerly known as Thompson) will book its Kenya-bound customers on Kenya Airways and KLM flights. Customers will be connected to their tourist destination through Kenya Airways hub, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), in Nairobi.
Kenya Airways Head of Global Marketing Jacque Muhati said: “This partnership will underscore the important role that Kenya Airways plays in the growth of tourism, specifically creating vital linkages.”
