    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the wish of the Ministry is to be able to get more resources from the Treasury to improve on the budget for domestic tourism promotion. However, you will realise that the amount of money given to the Ministry for marketing tourism is very little compared to our major markets that we compete with here in Africa. For example, if you compare what we spend with what South Africa or Egypt spends, we are way below them. So, we are forced to spend more money to attract international tourists than the local tourists. But I would like to urge this Parliament, especially through the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade to continue pushing the Treasury to give us more money to be able to market this country. We are already doing very well and have an upward trend in terms of tourism arrivals. We believe that with more money we will not only be able to get more tourists coming to Kenya but also promote local tourists."
