World Travel Awards gala ceremony still to be held in Nairobi
The World Travel Awards (WTA) has confirmed that, as part of its twentieth anniversary global tour, the Africa gala ceremony will be held as scheduled in Nairobi, Kenya, on October 16, despite a terrorist attack last month that rocked the capital and left 72 dead.
WTA founder and president Graham Cooke said there had been no requests for a postponement or cancellation, which indicated the support of the travel industry.
“As this is an international destination-profiling event for Kenya, the government has assured delegates of increased security measures at the airport during transfer, and at the hotel venue where the gala will be held,” he commented.
The gala ceremony would follow two successful events recently hosted in the country – the Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference, as well as the Africa Hotel Investment Forum.
“The global endorsement of Kenya as a destination was further enhanced by Kenya’s recent win to host SKAL World Congress for 2015 in Mombasa,” added Kenya Tourism Board MD Muriithi Ndegwa.
The Kenya Tourism Board will also be hosting the third Magical Kenya Travel Expo from October 18 to 20 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, which will see over 120 hosted buyers from 30 different countries converge for tourism networking and business transactions.
