dampened the enthusiasm of local hoteliers who
are now seeing a long-awaited resurgence in visitor
numbers.
Heavily dependent on regular air charters from
Europe, the coast has traditionally been at the mercy

due to growing local affluence as more and more
Kenyans take vacations at the coast, together with an
increase in independent travellers, especially at the
top and bottom ends of the market.
As in the past, problems in 2013 impacting competitor
