By MATHIAS RINGAMore by this AuthorA tourism body has announced a Sh800 million loan kitty to finance construction of lodges in national parks that lack accommodation facilities. Tourism Finance Corporation (TFC) Managing Director Jonah Orumoi said the agency has raised Sh300 million and the government Sh500 million to be lent to investors. Speaking to the Nation on phone Sunday, Mr Orumoi said the government’s aim is to provide accommodation for tourists while they are on safari. “Lack of accommodation and catering services in some of the national parks has greatly inconvenienced tourists coming to the country for game viewing,” he said. Mr Orumoi encouraged more business owners to take advantage of the incentive.
