Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya’s annual Magical Kenya Travel Expo (MKTE) has attracted participants from 35 countries across the globe.<\/p>\n

The three-day expo to be held between October 5-7 5th-7th October, brings together 160 hosted buyers and over 200 exhibitors from some of Kenya\u2019s key source markets in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.<\/p>\n

Kenya Tourism Board CEO Betty Radier says that the expo, which will be hosted at the Bomas of Kenya and will go a long way in highlighting the diversity and richness of Kenya\u2019s tourism industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we shall be hosting MKTE at the Bomas of Kenya which has a facility that will enable us to showcase the best of Kenya. The expo is a good opportunity for us coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic,” she said.<\/p>\n

She added that the expo will provide a platform for trade with hosted buyer partners to interact and explore business opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is yet another opportunity for our hospitality industry to network and explore business opportunities at the leading travel trade expo in East Africa,” Radier said.<\/p>\n

According to her, increased participation in the event is a testament to the growing recognition of MKTE as Africa\u2019s show of choice as well as Kenya\u2019s global stature as a Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Exhibition (MICE) destination<\/p>\n

The expo is expected to offer an ideal platform for B2B meetings between leading African products and top-producing global buyers.<\/p>\n

The pre-scheduled appointment system between exhibitors and hosted buyers is instrumental in driving business discussions.<\/p>\n

The expo which is now in its 12th edition is designed to boost African sales from major global comes at a time the industry has been on a recovery path.<\/p>\n

The sector earnings more than doubled to Sh167.1 billion between January-August 2022 compared to Sh83.2 billion recorded in a similar period last year, according to data from the Tourism Research Institute (TRI).<\/p>\n

Total arrivals increased by 91.3 per cent to 924,812 compared to 483,246 in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Prior to the expo, tourism buyers and the media will be hosted on a 5- day tour of tourism experiences and products across the country for the first-hand experience that the country has to offer.<\/p>\n
