Published on September 10, 2019, Kenya is seeking to host the 24th edition of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) General Assembly in 2021.
The bid comes as the congregation of UNWTO members meets for its bi-annual, 23rd session in St Petersburg, Russia.
Kenya's Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife aims to leverage its experience in hosting top global events, including the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit, the 10th World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference, and the Sustainable Blue Economy Conference.
These events demonstrate Kenya's ability to host large-scale international gatherings, attracting over 1,000 delegates from more than 130 member countries of the UNWTO.
