A cross-section of delegates during the Africa Climate Summit. [Stafford Ondego, Standard]Kenya is angling to host more global conferences following the successful hosting of the Africa Climate Summit. With Kenya’s premier conference facility, Kenyatta International Convention Centre hosting 20,000 summit delegates this week, players in the tourism sector believe meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) will cement the country’s position as a leading tourism destination. And with local hotel occupancy levels at 100 per cent this week, the climate summit will undoubtedly contribute heavily to this year’s visitor arrivals into the country. The inaugural Africa Climate Summit aims to give the continent a voice and a united position during the upcoming global COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
