  "summary": "Kenya's tourism industry is facing a new challenge as it seeks to sustain growth amid rising visitor demand. The World Economic Forum's Travel & Tourism Development Index 2026 warns that investment in key infrastructure such as hotels, airports, and transport systems has lagged behind tourism demand since 2022, putting the sector's long-term potential at risk. The report highlights that while tourism investment has declined since 2019, it is still not keeping pace with the increasing number of visitors, which could result in higher operating costs and limited capacity for businesses in the sector.",
