Day 2 at the World Travel Market

11/24/2014

0 Comments

 
After kicking things off at the World Travel Market in great style on the first day, the next step on day 2 was to observe and find out what the other travel sectors of over 186 countries worldwide had to offer, what features and great attractions were presented at their stands in order to access the marketing strategies advocated by each respective country in drawing new business to tourism. At the heart of this approach was a significant opportunity to present the Face of Kenya UK platform to the rest of the world, thereby being a representative for Kenya and the diaspora to the rest of the world and showcasing Kenya across every stand at WTM that may or may not know what Kenya has to offer as a nation. 

I was filled with so much pride and glee as I walked by excel with my Face of Kenya UK sash across the stands of Africa, Asia, Europe and USA,  and to my pleasant surprise the reception and excitement I received as I walked by and talked to many passers-by was absolutely phenomenal! This is not an exaggeration by any means, Kenya was greatly and positively received by all nations at the World Travel Market and this is clear in the pictures. We almost ran out of film as precious moments were captured in pictures and video footage which I will share soon. For many exhibitors, tourism boards and global travel market trade and businesses, Face of Kenya UK became the first point of contact for Kenya at WTM. This was a significant role that I could not shirk from but responsibly uphold with tenacity, humility and gratitude to be an ambassador and advocate for Kenya and a voice for our nation as the Face of Kenya UK!  What a privilege!

There is more to come from the World Travel Market, join me for the last installment of World Travel Market 2014 as I conclude the final day, the celebrations that took at the East Africa Stand and more!

Yours truly

Laviniah

    I am a highly driven, hard working and ambitious media studies graduate. My goal in life is to fulfill my potential and leave an indelible mark in this world and in the lives of others. As a Kenyan diaspora, I have been privileged to experience life in my homeland Kenya and in the UK and I aim to be a positive representative of the Kenyan Diaspora in the UK and the world. 

    I am honoured to be a part of Face of Kenya UK 2014 and to engage in this outstanding social platform that seeks to integrate the Kenyan diaspora in the UK and the world at large, while establishing Kenyan ambassadors that positively portray Kenya and promote all that is great about our nation.

    Your vote for me will be greatly appreciated!
