Migori County Government is seeking strategic partners in the tourism sector to create jobs and shore up the local economy. Governor Okoth Obado said his government has rolled out a masterplan to step up the region’s unexploited tourism potential.
He said part of the county’s broader strategy is to diversify its income sources, away from the traditional sugar cane and tobacco farming. He said plans to upgrade Migori Airstrip are at an advanced stage and a survey for its expansion has been completed. This, he said, will increase the number of visitors to the county and make Migori a top tourism destination in the next two years.
