Kenya unveils new global tourism campaign, eyes 5 million visitors by 2027

​Kenya has launched a new global tourism campaign titled “Experience Wonder” as the East African destination looks to strengthen its global brand positioning and attract more international travellers, including from the fast-growing Indian outbound market.. Unveiled at ITB Berlin 2026, the campaign introduces a refreshed tourism identity under the broader “Origin of Wonder” positioning, highlighting Kenya’s wildlife safaris, adventure tourism, cultural heritage, beach experiences and emerging tourism products.. The initiative comes as global tourism competition intensifies and destinations increasingly reposition themselves around experiential and sustainable travel offerings.. Speaking at the launch, John Ololtuaa, Principal Secretary for Tourism, said the campaign aims to reposition Kenya’s tourism narrative while appealing to modern travellers seeking immersive and meaningful experiences.. “Kenya is the birthplace of humanity and home to some of the world’s most iconic wildlife spectacles. This campaign goes beyond landscapes and wildlife — it represents a deeper sense of connection, discovery and renewal,” Ololtuaa said.. The campaign will be rolled out across key international source markets, including India, through digital storytelling, travel trade partnerships and targeted consumer engagement initiatives.. India has emerged as one of Kenya’s fastest-growing tourism markets and currently ranks among the destination’s top five global source markets, contributing around five per cent of total international arrivals in 2025.. Industry observers say Kenya has been gaining traction among Indian travellers, particularly for wildlife safaris, luxury experiential travel, honeymoon tourism and destination weddings.. The campaign also reflects shifting global travel behaviour, with Millennials and Gen Z travellers increasingly prioritising authentic, shareable experiences, adventure travel and culturally immersive journeys.. As part of the initiative, Kenya plans to introduce new digital engagement tools such as the Magical Kenya Souvenir Passport, designed to encourage travellers to explore multiple destinations within the country and create more immersive travel itineraries.. June Chepkemei, Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Tourism Board, said the campaign represents a significant step in the country’s tourism marketing strategy as demand for experience-led travel continues to rise globally.. “We are seeing strong performance across key source markets, and travellers are increasingly seeking authentic experiences. The diversity of Kenya’s tourism offerings — from wildlife and beaches to culture and adventure — positions the destination strongly in this environment,” she said.. The campaign launch comes amid strong recovery in Kenya’s tourism sector. International visitor arrivals rose 14.7 per cent to reach 2.39 million in 2024, while inbound tourism earnings grew 19.8 per cent to KSh 452.2 billion.. Kenya
