Invest heavily in tourism marketing, Italian billionaire tells Kenya - Story by DANIEL NYASSY - Publication Date: 4/4/2008 - The Government will have to invest heavily in tourism marketing if Kenya is to compete effectively with other tourist destinations in Africa, Italian Formula One tycoon Flavio Briatore, has said. Mr Briatore said after the recent post-election violence, the country needs to take charge and market tourism aggressively to regain lost ground. He said Kenya’s beauty and tourism potential largely remained untapped due to lukewarm marketing strategies. “Countries like Egypt and South Africa have had worse disasters in the past but their tourism industry has quickly recovered because they have moved forcefully to counter such disasters,” he said. Mr Briatore told a press conference at his prestigious Lion in the Sun hotel in Malindi that his coming and last week’s visit by super model Ms Naomi Campbell in the country was clear testimony that the country was safe. “Kenya has to do something urgently because other countries with similar natural endowments were marketing themselves more aggressively and could take over most of the tourism business from Kenya,” he said. The Italian billionaire, who owns the prestigious Lion in the Sun hotel in Malindi, said Kenya cannot afford to remain complacent as far tourism marketing was concerned. “Nobody in Europe at the moment knows there was a peace deal. Outside there, it is still so quiet about Kenya. The deal has not been communicated adequately outside there. The good news about the peace deal has to be communicated like the bad news was, ” he said. Mr Briatore revealed that world celebrity U2 singer Mr Bono had left Malindi on Tuesday after a 10-day holiday with his family at Lion in the Sun, saying that was a clear indication that Kenya was a safe destination for tourists to visit. “The fact that I am here with my girl friend and a friend, and the fact that my friend Mr Bono who is a world celebrity was also here shows that we have confidence in this country. The country is quite safe especially the Coast region,” he said. This is the same message Ms Campbell sent to the world after visiting the country last week. Mr Briatore arrived in Malindi aboard a private jet on Monday afternoon accompanied by his girl friend Ms E. Gregoraci and two friends Mr M. D’Onofrio and Mr G. Fasciano enroute to Bahrain to attend a Grand Prix race. Malindi MP Mr Gideon Mung’aro, who accompanied Mr Briatore said once a new cabinet was formed, there would be a change in the way Kenya is marketed. “The Tourism Bill already before Parliament is expected to bring major changes in the sector including fresh strategies to market the country,” said Mr Mung’aro. nationnmedia
