Visitor arrivals in Kenya hit decade high on visa-free policy

Visitor arrivals through the country's two main airports in the first three months of the year hit their highest level in at least a decade, coinciding with a visa-free policy that came into effect earlier this year.

Official figures show that 409,164 visitors arrived in the country through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Moi International Airport in Mombasa, a 10 per cent jump from the 370,570 visitors recorded last year.
