The successful conclusion of the first African Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, drawing over 6,000 delegates, has prompted tourism stakeholders to advocate for increased investment in the sector. Key requests include the swift establishment of a fully functional Kenya National Convention Bureau to attract further Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism. Participants also emphasized the need for expanded direct international flight routes to Mombasa, improving accessibility for international visitors. The conference highlighted Mombasa’s potential as a global hub for ocean-related events and underscored the economic benefits of MICE tourism. Industry leaders believe these improvements will significantly boost the region’s tourism revenue and profile. The event was held at a newly constructed, state-of-the-art venue, showcasing Mombasa’s capacity for large-scale international gatherings. Further details regarding specific investment plans are anticipated following the conference’s close.
