For the past few years, the local travelers in Kenya and East Africa were quite upset of the fact that they have to pay higher prices for traveling within the country. The UK and the US citizens generally pay much lesser than the local citizens while traveling in Kenya and East Africa. In order to help the local travelers, the Africa Point Travel Club has taken up lots of steps.

The Africa Point Travel Club has made pacts with various hotels, lodges and resorts for the benefit of the local tourists. The local tourists who visit these hotels, lodges and resorts get better prices than the foreign travelers. This is a welcome break for the travel industry that has duly supported this move as the number of foreign tourists visiting the country has declined in the recent times.

Some of the major hotels and airlines with which the club has partnered include Severin Sea Lodge, Serena Hotels, Sarova Hotels, Kenya Wildlife Service, Sun n Sand, Drift Wood Beach Club, Fly540 airline, Heritage Hotels and Aberdare Hotels.  It has also made pacts with villas and cottages in Naivasha, the Coast as well as different parts of the country. Some of the other industries which have supported this program of the Africa Point Travel Club include AAR, Barclaycard Africa, MamaMikes.com and Standard Chartered Bank’s Diva Club.  

In my opinion this is a great move which will help in the growth of the travel industry in Kenya and East Africa.
