Vaccination against the virus is the best solution to curb the virus which will eventually lead to the country opening up https://youtu.be/rV1DvyDIu8Q. Vaccination allows us to come together, shoulder to shoulder – In schools, places of worship, work, sports and other social places. Vaccination is the best hope of ending the COVID 19 Pandemic and getting back to doing the things we enjoy, with the people we love. The initiative is also geared towards complementing the efforts by the County and National Government to ensure that over 10 Million Kenyans are vaccinated by the end of year 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive social and economic impact. Both developed and developing economies have been hit. And marginalized groups and the most vulnerable have been hit hardest of all. The restart of tourism will help kickstart recovery and growth. It is essential that the benefits this will bring are enjoyed widely and fairly
UNWTO has therefore designated World Tourism Day 2021 as a day to focus on Tourism for Inclusive Growth. This is an opportunity to look beyond tourism statistics and acknowledge that, behind every number, there is a person. UNWTO invites its Member States, as well as non-members, sister UN agencies, businesses and individuals to celebrate tourism’s unique ability to ensure that nobody is left behind as the world begins to open up again and look to the future.
SPORTS TOURISM LIMITED is a destination marketing organization responsible for marketing sports tourism related activities and events to facilitate destination and attraction development opportunities that have the potential of attracting additional visitations through sports activities and events.
The COVID 19 has had a diverse effect on Tourism, Sports, Hospitality and Entertainment which are a source of livelihood to millions of people across the world and hence the need to take the initiative, mobilize stakeholders and engage the communities to take up the vaccinations as this offers the fastest and surest way to curb the virus for businesses to thrive once again and cushion the people against poverty and hunger. That is why SPORTS TOURISM LIMITED is taking up this initiative.
