KICC Paid WTA To Win Conference Destination Award.
The Africa & Indian Ocean Gala ceremony, where the awards were presented, was held on 1st June 2019 in Mauritius.
World Travel Awards (WTA) was established in 1993 to acknowledged, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.
World Travel Awards(WTA) is the travel and hospitality industry’s most prestigious awards programme rewarding leaders in tourism, hotel, Meetings Incentives Travel, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE). The awards are grouped in 10 regions covering Asia, Oceania, Caribbean, North America, Middle East, Africa, Indian Ocean, Europe, Central America, and South America.
That was the first time KICC has participated in the awards, and took the award from Durban who held it for the last nine years.
KICC CEO Nana Gecaga holding the 2 awards won
KICC had beat various nominees in the category including Cape Town Convention Centre in South Africa, Cairo Convention Centre in Egypt, Durban Convention Centre in South Africa, Palais Des Congress Marrakech in Morocco, Kigali Convention Centre in Rwanda and Sandton Convention Centre in South Africa.
Reports from undisclosed authentic source reaching Kenya Insights’ desk validates that KICC through its CEO Nana Gecaga paid Sh1 Million for the award to World Media & Event’s Limited who recognized KICC for the World Tour Award. The Management paid for the award so they would just travel to receive it. The KICC management led by CEO Nana Gecaga and the entire board went to Mauritius for six days to receive 2 awards. That trip cost sh10M where Ms Nana Gecaga pocketed sh776,500 = $7765 as per diem for the duration, each of the 8 board members got Sh583,000 = $5830 and the CEO’s Personal Assistant got Sh300,850 = $30085.
