Kenya Tourist Board (KTB)

The Kenya Tourist Board (KTB) was formed on February 7th 1997 when the Government recognized the necessity to create an independent marketing authority for the tourism sector. The prime objective of the KTB is to market Kenya as a tourist destination both locally and internationally.
KTB is managed by a Board of Directors, all of whom are major stakeholders in the tourism sector, with a Managing Director overseeing all marketing initiatives and campaigns.
KTB marketing campaigns are managed locally by a Marketing Director and a highly qualified team of marketing staff, based in the Nairobi offices at Upper Hill. These campaigns are run in conjunction with three international Market Development Representatives (MDRs) who manage KTB offices overseas. The MDRs cover key source markets in Europe, the UK and the USA/Canada, and newly emerging markets in Asia, and the Middle East, work closely with the KTB team. KTB also works to encourage a general increase in domestic tourism among Kenyans.
