September 27th is World Tourism Day, the day set aside annually to raise awareness on the need for accessible tourism around the world. 

In Kenya, tourism is the second-largest source of foreign exchange and no doubt our country’s wildlife, climate, and diverse landscape are some of the things that attract international tourists. Thanks to improved roads and more travel options, all our 47 counties are accessible. A question that comes to mind is whether as Kenyans we actively plan for trips to the different regions within our country and look forward to visiting the known and unknown gems that can only be found in the +254? 

Not too long ago, the hashtag #TembeaKenya was one of the most popular hashtags in Kenya, encouraging Kenyans and vacationers from outside to explore Kenya. Thanks to #TembeaKenya, people planned road and rail trips, packed their bags and made sure their cameras were always within reach.  

Once again, we would like to kickstart the enthusiasm to explore our beautiful country. Paukwa invites you to a new story collection titled ‘#OnlyInKenya’ where we will virtually tour unique destinations in Kenya – the places where you will surely find things, histories and tales that are unique to Kenya.
