"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. For many years, tourism has been the main foreign exchange earner and a major employer in this country. Due to mismanagement of the industry and probably other geopolitics, our importance and also the contribution of tourism has been falling. It is important this petition will jolt us into action to retrospectively inquire where we went wrong. Honestly speaking, there are various cadres in many professions. If tourism is a profession, there must be a provision for the various cadres of the profession to be involved. Tour guides are the people, as Hon. Sankok has put it, you can say are where the road meets the rubber or the rubber meets the road. Those are people who know more about tourism and interact a lot with tourists. If we do not train them properly and incorporate them in the management of tourism, they will not sell the image of Kenya as they ought to do. The best customer is a repeat customer and a customer by reference or connection. I support the petition."
