Earnings from tourism hit a record high of Sh352.54 billion last year driven by a jump in visitor numbers, significantly lifting one of Kenya’s biggest foreign exchange income drivers.

This was a growth of Sh84.45 billion or 32 per cent jump from the earnings of Sh268.08 billion made a year earlier as the sector continued year-on-year recovery from the slump posted four years ago.
