We are currently working on a plan through our ministry \u2013 the Tourism Board \u2013 where every tourist who comes into the country will be given a tree seedling to plant.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere will be a small fee of Kes.20 charged to the tourist for the seedling. I think that\u2019s a small fee for any tourist to part with. We want them to plant a tree and they can monitor it every time they visit Kenya. We want at least one tree per tourist,\u201d<\/em> Dr. Mutua said.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>One Tree per Tourist<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Mutua emphasized that the initiative would aid in achieving the government\u2019s target of planting 15 billion trees. He highlighted that the initiative, known as \u201cOne Tree per Tourist,\u201d represents a significant stride in addressing the impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he stated that \u201cOne Tree per Tourist\u201d has received full endorsement from the President and the Cabinet, following discussions at a cabinet meeting where Cabinet Secretaries deliberated on strategies to foster a green economy.<\/p>\n<p>Mutua underscored that by planting a tree, each tourist would play a role in conserving biodiversity and ecosystems vital to the tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTourism is heavily dependent on the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems. Tree planting remains an ongoing and crucial endeavor undertaken by the ministry to safeguard the country\u2019s ecosystem,\u201d<\/em> Mutua concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Alfred Mutua, the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife, has announced that every tourist visiting Kenya will be charged a small fee for purchasing tree seedlings.
