We are discussing with the department in charge of immigration the need for transit visas so that travellers with a long layover can have one and sample some of the products.

We have also seen that tourists who go to cities have certain minimum expectations: good tours, museums, nightlife and quite a lot that a city can offer. I want to assure you that that is on our radar. We need a lot of aggressive marketing in Kenya, even for the counties, and as you have mentioned, specifically the soapstone. I recently met an entrepreneur, a young man who is doing quite a lot in that field, but on the investment side, when I was on the docket for investment. However, it is then a linkage to make it a tourism product. That is why we are concentrating on diversifying and working with counties to have more products. Kenya has a lot that is not known domestically and internationally. As we finalise the tourism week in our celebration on Friday, we are also launching a product for young people to participate in photography and showcase some of those niche and gem products that are available in the counties. We do hope to have a very good repository of that, as we even give an opportunity for our young people to have their talent and make it into a competition. In regards to the question by the Hon.
