Unsupportive policies, inadequate facilities hurting Coastal tourism - official

Several factors other than insecurity have contributed to a drop in visitor numbers to the Coast, industry stakeholders have said. Players in the tourism industry say lack of adequate, modern and diverse entertainment facilities have affected tourists arrivals.

The Kenya Association of Hotelkeepers and Caterers (KAHC) says the challenge has over time affected the few entertainment hot spots that once dotted the Coastal tourism circuit, making them close shop.
