PS Ololtuaa noted that cruise tourists form a crucial part of the tourism industry owing to their high spend thereby generating additional crucial revenue for the destination.

“Cruise tourism is a high-value market worth billions of dollars, especially for destinations that have invested heavily in the relevant infrastructure as well as marketing their destinations globally. We want to ensure that this segment continues to contribute significantly to Kenya’s tourism sector as well as leverage on this potential by ensuring that we diversify our maritime products,” added the PS.
