“There’s no better place to travel than Kenya.” Says Ambassador McCarter adding that the country has put in place protocols that protects people and ensures their safety anywhere in the country.

The Ambassador’s announcement is shot in the arm to the Kenyan tourism industry as the country gears to allow international flights on 1^st August 2020. According to a survey by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance, Kenya’s tourism and education sectors are the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
