Those fellows in that board don't know what they are doing there. In fact I am shocked that MJ stayed there for this long.

These guys think that marketing Kenyan Tourism is just about attending Tourist Fairs at world capitals. But that is useless if they don't have the basics in place. I once asked them for directions to one of our tourist sites (Hell's kitchen) and none of my emails were answered.

So I called their numbers given on their website and none was working. Then I got an unlisted number from the cousin of a friend's wife (!) and it was answered, but no one at the office had ever heard of Hell's Kitchen!

Few months later, I picked a tourist map from their stand at a trade fair here in Nairobi and on checking, I found that it was older than my 1985 road map. It did not even have the road from Nakuru to Lake Bogoria!

Actually, I should be given MJ's job and my first order of business would be to take all employees on a fully paid trip to all the tourist circuits in the country.... you cannot market what you don't know - PERIOD!

Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

I'm sure that's not the reason why he resigned....
Anyway this position is awarded politically just like KEBS and CCK so don't expect anyone deserving to get it.

BBI will solve it

I should apply for a job there soon after you get appointed.
I will resign soon after the around Kenya fully paid trip. (to give way to fresh blood with new ideas).

My friend, why go around Kenya when you can do the entire world?
