The Event

GETAWAY 2006 is designed for the travel and tourism sector to boost hotel, lodge, and tour bookings for the Christmas Holidays, especially this December when many Nairobi residents and their families may wish to spend time away from the capital, either elsewhere in Kenya or in neighboring Tanzania, Zanzibar, and Uganda or other holiday destinations.

Participation in GETAWAY 2006 will be relevant for coast hotels and wildlife park lodges and tour operators in East Africa, and tour and travel firms marketing holiday packages to India, Egypt, the Far East, Europe and Australia, for instance.  It is anticipated that not less than 10,000 local residents will visit the three-day event
