The Tourism Fund and other regulatory agencies have launched a new registration drive of home stays popularly known as Airbnbs hosted in Kenya in an effort to bring them under the tax bracket.

According to the Fund, despite about 40,000 Airbnb hosts listed in Kenya, the agency has only registered 400 across the country.
