Who would pay Sh1.5 million or Sh350,000 for a hotel room to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a pandemic? Well, a few wealthy Kenyans who want to mark the day with generosity that their romantic relationships can last.
Luxury spending has been expected to be low, but high-end hotels and restaurants are seeing a rise in bookings. High-end consumer goods and services are seemingly proving resilient this Valentine’s Day, despite the Covid-19 pandemic as more plan to spend on restaurants and spas, luxury handbags, fine jewellery, or cashmere sweaters.
