    "content": "The other thing which has not been exploited by the Ministry is the issue of promotion of local tourists. Although the Minister captured this matter in his address, I think he needs to walk the talk. We are very happy of what he has said. Apart from Coast Province, Masai Mara and Samburu there are other areas with good tourist products or attractions and can be exploited. I think very soon, we are going to see other circuits in the country being developed. I want to give an example. We travelled with Ministry officials to Philippines on World Tourism Organization event. We were taken almost 300 kilometres on a tour to see an animal the size of a rat. They called it a Philippines Tasia. After reaching the destination, we were disappointed, but a lot of money went into the whole business. That shows how aggressive some countries can be in marketing their local products. What about our country with all the big animals and beautiful sceneries? I think if we aggressively address these issues of local tourism, there are a lot of products that would be exploited. Still on local tourism, I want to encourage the Ministry to see how it can introduce incentives to our local tourist markets maybe, by addressing the issue of rates into the game parks and other tourist attraction places. That can work as an incentive to our local tourism. In so doing, when we do not have foreign tourists, our local tourists can cushion us."
