In the end, an impression was created globally that Kenya is not a very safe place to visit. MANY Kenyans will still remember with horror the terrorist attack on the Westgate Shopping Mall on Saturday September 21, 2013. All this is just as damaging to the tourism sector as were the terrorist attacks of a couple of years ago, for I want the Cord leadership to keep in mind that it is these people who form the bulk of their supporters and voters at the Coast. For tourism is one of the few sectors that favour ordinary people with only minimal academic qualifications over the technocratic elite.
