\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The number of visitors to the world-renowned Hell\u2019s Gate National Park in Naivasha has risen by 30 per cent in the last one month.<\/p>\n

With visitation having dropped by 99 per cent at the height of the\u00a0Covid-19 pandemic,\u00a0the\u00a0Kenya Wildlife Services\u00a0(KWS) has exuded confidence that the tourism sector will recover in the coming months.<\/p>\n

At the height of the\u00a0pandemic, parks across the country were closed down leading to a major decline in revenue.<\/p>\n

At least 1,000 people visit the park weekly since it was re-opened.<\/p>\n

Customer care<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Warden in charge, Lillian Ojuoga, the park organised a customer care week which encouraged local and international visitors to\u00a0visit the park.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the lockdown, business went down but we have seen the number of visitors rise sharply mainly during weekends. This is encouraging,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Fischers Towers, camping and bike riding are some of the features that attarct visitors to the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
