Kenya’s hospitality sector is experiencing significant growth, primarily driven by a surge in domestic tourism. Hotels across the country are reporting increased occupancy rates as more Kenyans opt for local travel, a trend that marks a strong recovery for the industry post-pandemic.

• Derby Place Karatina in Nyeri County reports occupancy rates near 80 per cent.
• Operations Manager Wanjiru Nduati highlighted job creation for the local community, including boda boda riders and farmers.
• The growth is fueled by a mix of corporate clients booking conference facilities and individuals seeking leisure and holiday packages.
