Today marks a major milestone for Kenya’s tourism sector. I am proud to announce that the Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) has acquired a new fleet of vehicles to enhance regulatory operations across the country.
With these vehicles, we will be able to conduct regular inspections, enforce compliance, and respond swiftly to stakeholders ensuring that Kenya remains a preferred global tourism destination.
This investment also comes as we prepare to undertake a national classification exercise for hotels and facilities, which has not been done for more than five years.The move is fully aligned with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, and in line with our government’s goal of attracting 5 million international arrivals by 2027, we are committed to supporting facilities that fall short of required standards through structured capacity-building programs.
The private sector is a critical partner in this mission. The Government is seeking closer collaboration with sector associations to encourage professionalism through self-regulation. Our doors remain open, and we encourage the sharing of information to enhance destination competitiveness and build a fair, transparent industry that benefits us all.
Sincere appreciation to the Tourism Regulatory Authority Board and Management for their dedication, and recognize the efforts of the Tourism Promotion Fund in the purchase of these vehicles. Your continued commitment is key to building capacity and strengthening Kenya’s tourism sector.
By strengthening TRA’s operational capacity, we are not just improving mobility ,we are reinforcing consumer confidence and safeguarding the future of Kenyan tourism.
