SKYWARD EXPRESS TO LAUNCH ITS A ND 24HR CALL CENTRE ANDSTNEW OFFICES Over the recent past, SKYWARD EXPRESS has witnessed tremendous growth in terms of passenger numbers and the acquisition of its new offices and hangar at Wilson Airport.

This, we owe it to the fact that we enjoy the support of our customers, travel agents, and business partners.

SKYWARD EXPRESS was the pioneer airline to offer schedule flights into Eldoret International Airport from Wilson Airport. Later, we opened up the Mombasa – Lamu route becoming the first airline to offer scheduled flights into Mombasa from Wilson Airport and the first to offer direct flights between Mombasa and Lamu. The coastal routes of Mombasa and Lamu have seen tremendous growth in seat capacity as well as reduced travel time for passengers connecting between the two islands over the past two years.

Subject to regulatory approval, SKYWARD EXPRESS is committed to increasing its route base to the coastal and western destinations of Kenya in the near future. With this in mind, taking cognizance of the fact that there has been an increase in demand of our services, we are pleased to announce that, SKYWARD EXPRESS will offer 24hr operational support to customers in a bid to ensure increased customer satisfaction.

For further information or clarification please contact SKYWARD EXPRESS;

FOREWORD MINISTER OF TOURISM Tourism is Kenya’s jewel. It is our desire as a destination to continuously monitor and adapt to the dynamic market needs in order to accord our visitors an unforgettable experience as well as increase their visitation and stay in the country.

Kenya is looking up to receiving more visitors in 2018 given reduced political activities and conducive business environment prevailing after the general election last year.

The positive outlook can already be seen in the past six months. In the 2017/18 financial year, combined arrivals for July to June closed at 1,488,370 compared to 1,393,568 in 2016/17, illustrating a growth of 6.8%.

Our domestic segment recorded a growth of 1.1% as indicated in the domestic bed nights’ figure that closed at 3.67 million bed nights compared to 3.64 million in 2016/17.

Tourism receipts for the period under review posted a 9.9% growth at Kshs117.6 Billion, up from KShs107 Billion recorded in 2016/17.

MKTE is one of Africa’s premier tourism trade fairs, bringing on board hosted buyers from across the globe, including travel agents, tour operators, hoteliers and trade media from Kenya’s key tourism source markets such as Europe, Africa, STAND Asia and Americas, among others.

We appreciate all exhibitors, hosted buyers, media representatives and trade in making MKTE 2018 a success as we collectively strive to take our tourism sector to greater heights!

We are optimistic that tourists will continue to visit Kenya as their holiday or business destination as we adopt more strategies aimed at realizing the full potential of the sector.

In keeping with that aspiration, Kenya will this year showcase its authentic tourism offering to the world through an unprecedented week of tourism promotion; the inaugural Kenya Tourism Festival (KTF) 2018. This is in line with our strategic objective of enhancing visitor experience, as well as increasing their stay in the country.

TREASURES MAASAI MARKET 2018 The TREASURES OF Maasai Market is run by Heavenly Treasures Kenya a non-profit NGO. This year we have a diverse team of crafters from all over the country with a variety of STAND carefully selected and handcrafted items made in Kenya.

Our goal is to equip and assist artisans in Kenya to break the cycle of poverty through their handiwork and creativity. We focus on handicraft projects that allow the development of a micro enterprise, leading them down the path to self-sufficiency We agree with the standards of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) by way of definition and guidelines. We support all fair trade efforts as we have common goals.

Since our micro enterprise network is focusing on the poorest of the poor, we strive to teach business development guidelines that are equal to or exceed common fair trade practices, with the hope that the livelihood project will someday reach a level of economic success to warrant certification.

The participants request help with developing more marketable products and helping them with an "access to markets." We are field based in our network efforts with individuals and organizations. We visit clients of micro finance institutions and neighborhood co-ops in their homes and tiny workshops. info@htkenya.org

CREATING A SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE AFRICAN TOURISM SUPPLY CHAIN Overview Global trends of consumers and tourists are demanding socially and environmentally responsible products, particularly in eco sensitive destinations such as Africa. In over saturated safari tourism markets throughout the continent, local brands and businesses are becoming more competitive to win market share.

A business with demonstrated policies and procedures, independently verified and audited by Internationally recognized certification schemes gives companies a competitive advantage while increasing their operational efficiencies, saving money and leaving a more positive impact on the communities and regions they operate in.

Goals v Providing guidance, support and best practices to African tourism companies to adapt and replicate a globally proven sustainable consumption products supply chain methodologies. v Increased implementation of best eco and socially responsible practices among African tour operators, accommodation providers and their suppliers. (i.e. accommodation, safari guides, activity providers) v Marketable sustainable tourism products, strengthening business and destination promotion between International buyers and African suppliers.

Positive Impacts

STAND

Addressing sustainability leads to the conservation of natural resources, protection of cultural heritage & community development.
