The Magical Kenya Travel Expo (MKTE) is East Africa’s premier tourism trade event, bringing together over 200 exhibitors and 150+ international travel buyers at the iconic Kenyatta International Convention Centre in the heart of Nairobi. If you’re in the tourism industry, this is the must-attend event of the year.
The three-day expo features pre-scheduled B2B meetings between Kenyan tourism service providers and international travel buyers from key source markets across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. Exhibitors include safari operators, beach resorts, airlines, conservation organizations, and destination management companies.
Beyond the trade floor, the expo includes panel discussions on tourism trends, sustainability in travel, digital marketing for tourism businesses, and keynote speeches from industry leaders. Familiarization trips (FAM trips) to various Kenyan destinations are organized before and after the expo for international buyers.
For tourism professionals, MKTE offers unparalleled networking opportunities and direct access to Kenya’s decision-makers. For the broader tourism ecosystem, it’s a critical platform for showcasing Kenya as a world-class safari and beach destination.
