As the Laikipia Tourism Association (LTA), we believe in creating a lasting impact on our members by enhancing their operations. Tourism and hospitality industries are among the key drivers of the Greater Laikipia landscape’s economy. Among the key benefits to our members is to enhance their operations and position them on a global scale.
Over the years, we have enhanced our members’ work through marketing and providing them with skilled labour personnel for the industry. As we stride forward towards championing sustainable tourism, we are keen to align our work with our members’ objectives. We are committed to maximizing the potential of our members as either a key tourist attraction, a reliable tour operator/travel agency, and curating the best hospitality experiences.
In June, we carried out courtesy visits to some of the members in parts of Laikipia, Nyeri, and Meru Counties. We visited some of the newly subscribed members to understand their work and highlight our significance as an association of tourism and hospitality providers. We aimed to determine their operational progress and highlight challenges that required our intervention.

We noted key challenges including delay in license renewal, which, through our partnership with Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA), we were able to present to them and provide solutions to our members. This not only safeguards the integrity of our members but also enhances their operational management by fulfilling the legal requirements.
In addition, we awarded certificates of appreciation to the members for their support during the Laikipia Wildlife and Tourism Expo 2025. We also gathered their feedback towards enhancing their visibility through events and linking them with key players in the tourism and hospitality market. Stakeholders called for more collaboration and for access to key tools and technologies to enhance efficiency across various aspects of their work.
We are proud and delighted to have resourceful and determined members keen on promoting destinations and transforming visits into memorable experiences. We have taken note of the recommendations and areas of improvement to serve you better and create a beneficial platform for your facilities.
