RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT KENYA’S COASTAL RESORTS

Kenyan beach resorts are accused of turning away locals while rolling out the red carpet for White tourists.

Stories of Kenyans being denied access - whether to beachfronts, hotel premises or even certain services - have fuelled debates about racism, neocolonialism and economic discrimination in the very country they call home.

While tourism remains a vital pillar of Kenya’s economy, this exclusion raises uncomfortable questions about whose pleasure and presence truly matters. Shouldn’t Kenyans have the same right to enjoy their own coastline and amenities as the foreigners whose dollars are so eagerly welcomed?
