The ongoing Covid-19 vaccination across the country has raised hopes for the travel and hospitality industry. The sector on Monday said the arrival of the AstraZeneca vaccine has seen the travel and hospitality industry start preparing for a rebound in demand following a historically horrible year. “The vaccine is expected to be a significant boost for the tourism and hospitality industry, which has been badly affected by border closures, travel restrictions, curfew and social distancing measures related to Covid-19," he said. While a vaccine will be key to any resumption in mass tourism, industry players say other measures will also be crucial to a recovery. Kenya Coast Tourism Association chairman Victor Shitakha said the priority of the tourism industry is to get people traveling and doing business and events again safely.
