In an extraordinary “Open Letter” to the public, the American Ambassador to Kenya is urging travelers to visit Kenya.   Ambassador Ranneberger’s letter is available through the link below. Here are some highlights:
 

“I hope you’ll consider visiting Kenya as a tourist or businessperson in 2008.  The country is very much back in business and this is an exciting time to be here.  There is a tangible spirit of renewed hope and opportunity.  You’ll find Kenyans to be welcoming and warm.   I hope to see you here soon!
 
“I urge you to look again at Kenya as an exciting destination for tourism and for doing business….  In 2007, a record 102,000 Americans visited Kenya, many to enjoy the richness of the country’s culture and the majesty of its landscapes and unparalleled wildlife.
 
“….I can report that there have been positive developments that are opening up the economic climate, making Kenya once again the perfect locale for business and tourism….  Kenya is re-energized and is once again a country on the move.”
