    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, that was a comment that we took note of, but to assure that the tourism strategy that we are implementing is firmly anchored on Vision 2030. The last question by Sen. (Dr.) Oburu was on diversification of tourism products and tourism destinations. We are happy that this week, World Tourism Week is being celebrated in the western region, specifically Kisumu. We have had a lot of activities since Monday. We have seen visits to the Ndere Islands and the Kajulu Hills. The climax will be on Friday when we shall be launching the western circuit. I want to assure the hon. Member that we are focusing on the diversification of the products and tourism destinations that we have. We are cognizant that infrastructure is an enabler to tourism, working closely with the Ministry of Roads and Transport, for the roads and the circuits that will provide access to the tourism places. Also, sports tourism is a niche market for Kenya. We shall be working closely with the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage so that we can take full advantage of that sector of sports tourism. We are doing a lot of work to ensure that Kenya has a sustainable tourism industry. Just like the manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza Government says that tourism is critical to the economy of this country, Kenya is still punching a little below its weight and that goes a long way to describe the work that is ahead of us."
