Kenya is a magnificent country endowed with a sumptuous array of spectacular touristic attractions that are liberally dispersed throughout the land, and Nairobi is its powerful, vital, beating heart,” stated Ruto.
President Ruto further observed that he is ready to even make the city a better place for the future in Africa saying getting recognized as the world top city destination 2024 by Lonely Planet is, therefore, a direct recognition of the city’s unique confluence of global cosmopolitan trends and traditional cultural blends, with an emerging, evolving and dynamic youthful bent and “everything else in between”.
The head of State noted also that the award is also an indirect affirmation of ‘Magical Kenya’ as an irresistible destination for those curious to encounter a beautiful country going places with a people who are always ready to engage all visitors, clients, customers and partners until their expectations are exceeded.
