    "content": "have benefited from immensely. However, I am not saying that these other cultures cannot also be very rich. There is probably something that I do not know about the Luo culture. However, if we engage to know the activities that can be carried out in those respective areas, we will then move from having tourists just come and spend billions here in Nairobi. This is because all they do is to go to these big hotels, most of which are owned by chains and, therefore, the money generated from tourists just keeps going abroad. We, therefore, need to bring back the money. Madam Temporary Speaker, when one travels and reads a lot about Kenya, even the tourists who talk about Kenya tell you that it is one of the best places to go to; and it is very wrong if we do not take advantage of that. Let us tap into their cell phones – I am not saying that we listen in on their conversations – but let us see, using this data, what activities bring them into this country. We should not only be known because of athletics and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, although I want more tourists to come. However, this country will develop more when we are able to diversify most of our tourism incentives and activities. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife can also venture into promotions by partnering with companies such as Google and Safaricom, such that when a tourist lands, they can be told that there is Loiyangalani. In fact, very few of us, Kenyans, travel around the country. Therefore, utilising these statistics and ensuring that it is current will also help locals to travel, not only to Mombasa. I am sure that during Christmas, everyone heads to Mombasa. However, we can also tour somewhere in Lake Turkana or in Taita, where we have the Mzima Springs. These can bring in certain attractions and help people build their richness in visiting and opening up their minds. Therefore, the pillar of place and how location intelligence reveals opportunity is really big when we rely on data. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to Move and request Sen. Dullo to Second."
