MEDELLIN – Kenya has been elected to the highest decision making body of the United Nation World Tourism Organization’s (UNWTO) Executive Council. 
Kenyan officials say the announcement was confirmed at the 21st UNWTO General Assembly, which is being held in Medellin, Colombia.
Cabinet Secretary for East Africa, Commerce and Tourism, Phyllis Kandie, said:  “We are privileged to be accorded the opportunity to represent Kenya, East Africa and the African continent on the council. The East African Community (EAC) is one of the fastest growing regional economic blocks and is also endowed with some of the most remarkable tourist attractions to be found anywhere in the world.”
 
Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda recently introduced a single visa solution that reduces the cost of visiting to $100 and allows multiple entries.
