Another week another cruise ship Viking Sky Bergen. @VikingCruises

Thank you CS Tourism & Wildlife Rebecca Miano @rebecca_miano for creating time to join us in Mombasa to receive this special ship . Special in the sense that it will spend 3 days in Mombasa unlike all others who only call in and leave same day .

We are delighted as @pollmanstours Tours and Safaris Ltd we are handling all the excursions and tours for the next 3 days be it Tsavo East , Mara , Tamarind lunch and city excursions. Many also opt to explore the city on their own. When you bump into them please be nice to them.

Guess what some are also going on Wasini tour to swim with the dolphins which is a @magicalkenya signature experience. The bypass has made all the difference for a day tour which was next to impossible in the past.

800+ guests and 400 crew and 20 of them are Kenyans. We happily " welcomed " them home as they proceed to Nosy Be in Madagascar. Good to see Kenyans getting a share of cruiseship employment.

As always I choose to remain an Optimsit.

Over the past few days, Kenya has garnered global attention as rally enthusiasts from around the world tune in to witness the thrilling African rally experience. The influx of thousands of fans into Naivasha has significantly boosted businesses in Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru, and the surrounding areas.

The local economy has experienced a notable uplift, with both macro and microeconomic benefits. Hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and even small-scale traders, such as mama mboga vendors, have reaped the rewards of increased consumer activity. The economic trickle-down effect of the WRC Safari Rally has revitalized the region, demonstrating the substantial impact of sports tourism.

Events such as the WRC Safari Rally, the Magical Kenya Open, and the Kip Keino Classic continue to position Kenya as a premier sports tourism destination, generating revenue and fostering economic growth across multiple sectors.

Yesterday was pure magic ✨
Immersed myself in a world of words and melodies at the music and poetry festival in Moscow. The highlight was the celebration of Sergei Esenin's incredible legacy. It was an honor to share this experience with Dr. Claire Amuhaya. #kenyaindiaspora
