The Kenya Tourist Board (KTB) has been awarded the title of ‘Best Tourist Board’ at The Good Safari Guide Awards 2009, which was presented at the first night of Indaba 2009 at a gala dinner at the Hilton Durban on Friday 8th May. KTB came top in the ‘Best Tourist Board’ category due to its positive and tangible work for the country and its travel industry in 2008.

KTB won this prestigious award against the other nominated tourist boards of Gambia, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. The Good Safari Guide holds these annual awards to recognise the outstanding achievements of the safari industry in Africa with the travel trade nominating all contenders. A panel of travel trade professionals then declares the winner in each of the 16 categories.

Maryane Jordan, Acting Manager Director at the Kenya Tourist Board comments: “We are honoured to win the title of Best Tourist Board which supports our extensive recovery and stabilisation campaigns in 2008 to maintain and boost the tourism industry in Kenya. This award is also for all our partners and all lodges, camps, hotels and tourism companies in Kenya who continue to provide and promote Kenya to the world.”
