China has the potential to emerge as Kenya's top tourism source market post-COVID-19, the country's tourism agency said on Thursday. Fred Okeyo, acting director of market development of the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB), told Xinhua in Nairobi that the Asian nation is currently among the top ten countries that provide tourists to Kenya. "We anticipate that Chinese tourism will bounce back and we are preparing adequately to be able to tap into that market again at the right time," he added. KTB said that the growing Sino-Kenya cooperation in many socio-economic sectors makes the east African nation an ideal destination for Chinese tourists. Okeyo observed that Chinese investments in Kenya's hospitality sector are also a key factor in attracting more tourists from the Asian nation.
