Finn, who is in the country until Monday, November 30 said Kenya is safe for holiday destinations. He however noted that his visit at the moment is not for leisure, but to send a message that the country is safe amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
He says he has observed that Kenyans are following the protocols and guidelines than any other country he has traveled to during the pandemic. “I did not come here on holiday, that is why my wife is not with me. I came because whenever Kenya has a little crisis I come and say Kenya is safe” he said
He said, during a pandemic, Kenya is the safest place to go on holiday. Finn is scheduled to have his vaccine in December.
Tourism players say Finn’s visit to Kenya gives confidence to the international market that the country is an ideal destination. “When you get an endorsement from the eyes of a traveler that is likely to carry the right persuasion to the potential travelers” said Kioko Musyoki, Leopard Beach General Manager.
