ABOUT US

Kenya Association of Women in Tourism, a non-profit association, was started in March 2011 with an objective to unite and mobilize women in the tourism and hospitality sector, to take an active role in the promotion of tourism in Kenya and come up with programs that promote and enhance social harmony.

CONCEPT NOTE

Women play a significant role in the tourism industry, as employees, employers and entrepreneurs. Over the years, the sector has seen an increase in the participation of women, nd they have made valuable contributions to its growth and development.

THE VISION

Proceeds from funds raised will be used to support children with special needs from Kangundo D.E.B Primary School and fund children with disabilities on a field trip.
For many of the students with disabilities, school trips to our parks and museums are a novel idea and this will be their first trip. This will be an opportunity to advance
knowledge on accessible tourism.

• Safety and security for women travelers in the hospitality and tourism facilities
