Author Description

Our December cover features Alfajiri Villas located in Diani on Kenya's South Coast, both of which are featured in this edition (see our Destination story on pages 12 - 15, and Property Review on pages 18 - 21). In this edition we also report on the Africa Travel Association's 40th Annual World Congress, which was convened in Nairobi, Kenya (see page 16). Whilst this edition focuses on Kenya, our regular content has not been ignored, which includes an opinion piece on the African Union's ill conceived funding model in the Business section (page 06), and the latest tourism arrival and hospitality stats for South Africa (page 08). In the Conservation section, Southern Africa's vultures gets a helping hand from UK based The Hawking Centre (page 11), and our legal beagle Louis the Lawyer continues his series on 'Enforcing your Contract' (page 22). And finally, our Marketing section provides sound advise for dealing with negative clients and colleagues (page 23).
