Through its food production and hospitality, NSK is providing employment opportunities to Kenyans, in a bid to help close the current unemployment gap. According to statistics, the unemployment rate in Kenya stood at 6.6% in the first quarter of 2021, against 5.4% in the previous quarter.
Speaking at the launch event the President lauded NSK for being innovative and creative to add a unique culinary experience to the hospitality industry. The Ministry of Tourism is encouraging Kenyan destinations to market their experiences to the world.
In 2020, a Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife Tourism Research Report revealed massive losses made in the hospitality industry. This was due to cancellation of meetings, conferences, accommodation and exhibitions.
However, since August 2020, international flights were opened up, giving hope to the hospitality industry. The government is encouraging tourism experiences like NSK to energize the industry and thrive again as restrictions are eased and economy open ups.
