The Tourism Recovery Taskforce formed in 2014 deserves commendation for the excellent job authoring a report that identified areas that require improvement to bring the industry that was on its knees back to its feet.

In the words of Susan Ongaro, acting CEO of Kenya Tourism Federation, several things have been happening behind the scenes and the team has been working on recommendations of the report. The industry stakeholders are now expecting a full recovery over the next two years.
