Assessment and Accreditation in North and South Rift, Western and Nyanza regions
Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) was established by the Tourism Act No.28 of 2011 with the main mandate of regulating the tourism sector in Kenya. The Authority is also mandated to develop standards to guide operations of the sector players to ensure quality service delivery. As such the Authority has developed various standards for the hospitality sector as well as a quality audit tool for accommodation and catering facilities for use in the assessment of the facilities leading to accreditation of those that meet the requirements of the developed standards.
The Authority plans to have the assessment of the facilities in North Rift, South Rift, Nyanza and Western Kenya counties (Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Kericho, Bomet, Narok, Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega, Vihiga, Siaya, Kisumu, Homabay, Kisii, Nyamira and Migori) in the months of April & May 2024 with the assistance of the two consultants, Tandaza Global Concepts Ltd and Horrizons Business Solutions Ltd who will coordinate the exercise.
This is to invite stakeholders in the targeted regions to participate in this important exercise towards uplifting the quality standards of the sector. Kindly access a pre-qualification form from this link for filling and submission to TRA to enlist your establishment for the upcoming Quality Audit Exercise.
