The Kenya Association of Women in Tourism held the 2012′s Women in
Tourism International Alliance conference in Nairobi this very week. The
meeting was aimed at providing an opportunity to all the women with the chance
to display all their products that they have got to offer to the travelers.
This women initiative has helped women to improve on their standards of living
through generation of person income to be able to cater for their needs with
out depending on any one more so their husbands; in this case they are capable
of providing for their families.
Among the different sessions they had
during the meeting was about tree planting at Karura forest which is a way of
appreciating the work that was done by the late Prof Wangari Maathai regarding
all matters to do with environmental conservation.
Kahindi Lekalhaile who is the CEO of
Ecotourism Kenya asked all the people in the region to help the authority in conserving the environment and so in honor of Maathai, they
should be able to plant by planting as many trees as everyone can. These
will be very vital in improving the weather especially now that the weather is
becoming more hostile for the survival of the tourism sector and the
agricultural sector which are the two most productive sectors therefore
contributing heavily to the growth of the country through high contribution to
the GPD therefore need to be protected.
