Some 655，058 tourists visited Kenya through its two main airports， namely the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and the Moi International Airport in Mombasa， in the first three quarters， up from 555，856 in 2015， latest figures from the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) showed Monday.

KWS said all fees were capped at 60 dollars for adult non-residents and 8.6 dollars for adult Kenyan citizens effective this month.


KTB acting chief executive Jacinta Nzioka noted that the 18 percent growth in arrivals in the first nine months
