By MATHIAS RINGAMore by this AuthorThe construction of a major road in Kilifi key to the revival of tourism has begun. Tarmacking of the 117km Malindi-Sala Gate Road, at a cost of Sh4.1 billion, brings hope to tourism stakeholders as it links Malindi resort town to Tsavo East National Park in Taita Taveta County. “The airport’s runway is being extended by a kilometre and it will cut through a section of the Malindi-Sala Gate Road,” said the PS. The PS spoke to the Nation at the weekend after inspecting the Malindi-Sala Gate road. Hoteliers and tour operators are upbeat that the Malindi-Sala Gate Road would boost tourism in Kilifi and Taita Taveta counties.
