In a fast-growing continent, rich in natural resources, Kenya stands out as one of Africa’s most vibrant economies with an annual GDP growth rate of well over five per cent. In addition to tea, coffee and horticultural exports, tourism is one of the nation’s largest income generators, accounting for 12 per cent of GDP. Kenya welcomes well over 1 million foreign visitors a year and is on course to reach 2 million in the near future. The Kenyan government’s ambitious Vision 2030 development programme for the nation envisages an annual growth rate of about 10 per cent for the coming years. Key infrastructural projects such as a new seaport, expanded airports, a greatly enhanced national and commuter rail network are among the many schemes designed to make Kenya the commercial and business capital of Africa.
