Tourism Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has praised the Kitenden Conservancy’s partnership with Amboseli Kitenden Lodge, highlighting its community-driven approach to land ownership security and household benefits.
Miano commended the initiative for prioritizing community empowerment from the outset, ensuring that local households directly benefit from conservation and tourism revenue. She emphasized that this model addresses long-standing concerns of inequitable contracts in the sector.
The partnership features a top-tier lease rate and conservation charges, ensuring that both the community and the developers mutually benefit. This sets a precedent for sustainable tourism collaborations across Kenya, balancing economic growth, environmental conservation, and community welfare.
Miano’s endorsement reaffirms the government’s commitment to responsible tourism, supporting initiatives that empower communities while preserving Kenya’s natural heritage.
