Blasts and Guns Should Not Define Destinations

Published: 9:29 AM UTC, Wed January 16, 2019

We are strong. We are Magical Kenya

For centuries travel has served to break prejudices and connect people. Travel advisories prejudice and kill destinations, hurting host communities and entire nations. Incidents like the one that took place in 14 Riverside in Nairobi, Kenya on 15th January 2019 should not be used to define the destination and should not be the basis of any negative travel advisories. For how then can we claim to be in solidarity against such offenders when we isolate those affected by selfish incidents like this? Now is a great time to show your support for Kenya. Your visit will be celebration of love and a denouncement of hate. Come live the Magic!Best for now
