    "content": "Bahamas and Jamaica are tourist destinations. The tourism industry in this country has held strong in its harshest times by Kenyans. Kenyans decide to go on holiday but, unfortunately, they are charged the most. I once went to stay in a Mombasa hotel which I booked locally. I ended up paying three times the amount that my sister who was coming from the United Kingdom (UK) did in the same hotel. These bilateral agreements are an opportunity to enhance the industry, bring the prices down, increase competitiveness and allow Kenyans look at alternatives. If the hotel industry in Kenya penalises Kenyans for wanting to enjoy their own facilities, this will open up other areas for Kenyans to go, not only to enjoy themselves, but also to look at opportunities in terms of trade and exchanges. Bilateral agreements are about improving the country, enhancing our economy and creating opportunities for employment and trade. I support the bilateral agreements between the various countries and ask Kenyans to pull up our socks and ensure we are competitive and embrace Kenyans in terms of travel and enjoying the facilities in our various tourist destinations."
