Africa’s domestic travel market remains key in driving recovery of the sector post Covid-19, global hotel brand Minor Hotels has said. Minor Hotels Regional Director for Africa, Mark Havercroft, yesterday said domestic tourism is the first segment to support recovery before international tourists begin inter-continental travels. To ensure local and regional tourists appreciate the sector, hotels and travel industry players must ensure they provide attractive packages, Havercroft said. Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala has projected international tourists will start flocking the country later in 2021. Hotels in Kenya are counting on the domestic market to support the industry’s recovery.
