Britain has started withdrawing some advisories it had issued against travelling in some parts of the country following a wave of terrorist attacks.
On Monday, the country’s Deputy High Commissioner to Kenya John Murton said Britain would remove the travel advisory issued against slums of Nairobi, except those in Eastleigh where, he said, fears of terrorist attacks still persist.
The travel advisories have been hurting the tourism industry.
Mr Murton said in a statement that his country expected visitors to be more confident when travelling through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferring to hotels.
“We will also make it clear that there are no travel advisories against Kenya’s major game parks,” said Mr Murton.
High Commissioner Christian Turner had pledged a review of the advisories.
