ABOUT US
Tourism Students Association of Kenya
Tourism Students Association of Kenya is a fully registered association under the registrar of societies of Kenya. The association is also a non-political platform and therefore not affiliated to any political parties/institutions.
Over the decades, tourism has experienced continued growth and deepening diversification to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. Modern tourism is closely linked to development and encompasses a growing number of new destinations. These dynamics have turned tourism into a key drive for socio-economic progress. (UNWTO, 2017)
Tourism students are the future of the tourism sector. Tourism’s current role in expanding economic opportunity in developing countries presents a paradox. Tourism students and professionals have a role to play within the industry and the business community as a whole.
With a critical look into the current situation of the industry, a need a rose of coming up with a tourism association for students and professions in the industry. The Tourism Students Association of Kenya (TSAK) is a student led platform in its initial stages with a vision of being the leading link between tourism students and stakeholders within the industry.
The association intends to expose information from different student experiences and research projects on culture, wildlife, conservation, travel, conservation, events and hospitality lifestyle. It is expected that members from various universities and professions will benefit from this association through a lot of exposure as the association will have access to current information and practical issues in the tourism industry.
Other stakeholders in the tourism industry will also benefit from the association through various partnerships. The association will assist in marketing various products of the stakeholders to the public.
