Abstract

This study seeks to explore the trends in international tourist arrivals in a developing country - Kenya - which has been well recognized as an international tourist destination in Sub-Saharan Africa. Kenya’s tourism sector has undergone several challenges over the years. Several factors that affect the tourists’ propensity to stay longer in a destination are discussed and suggestions for marketing are proposed.
