    "content": "What is more worrying is the fact that what this country intends to achieve under Vision 2030, particularly the economic goals of this policy, is pegged so much on tourism. The President talked about attracting three million tourists by 2017. I am afraid that it will be impossible for us to achieve these kinds of targets if the very bases of our tourism sector continue to face such serious attacks. We must realise that the tourism sector in this country is basically nature-based. Other than wildlife, the other great attraction that tourists come to see in Kenya is our sandy beaches. However, appreciating how much our sandy coastline has been mismanaged over the last few years, wildlife still remains the most important tourism attraction product in Kenya. Therefore, any danger posed to our tourism assets must be dealt with decisively. When we talk of our tourism assets, we have in mind the Big Five animals, namely, elephants, rhinos, lions, buffalos and leopards. Two of our Big Five wild animals, namely, elephants and rhinos; having come under this kind of attack from poaching fuelled by a great demand for wildlife trophies in the South-East Asian markets, it behoves the Government to come up with various strict legislations to protect this important biodiversity resource."
