Quarterly Market Review July - September

Kenya

Welcome

Q2 was a time of football festivity as Kenyans got into the spirit of 2010!

In support of South African Tourism’s 2010 activation in Nairobi, Kenyans joined in the celebrations by learning the Diski Dance and blowing their vuvuzela’s.

Our deal driven campaigns have also enjoyed tremendous success and I look forward to engaging with both the Kenyan Trade and SA product owners to influence Kenyan leisure travellers to buy into South Africa in 2010 and beyond.
