On 29 September 2026, the Embassy of the Republic of Costa Rica in Kenya facilitated a virtual exchange between the Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT) and Kenya's tourism sector. Among the institutions that participated in the webinar were the Kenya Tourism Board, the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Ecotourism Kenya, the Wildlife Conservancies Association and, the Kenya Association of Tour Operators.
Costa Rica had the opportunity to share knowledge and its experience on the development and implementation of the Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST), a voluntary scheme that promotes measurable sustainability practices across the environmental, social, cultural and, economic dimensions.
The session highlighted the CST certification process and its contribution to sustainable business practices, resource efficiency, and community well-being, as well as the importance of public-private partnerships. Costa Rica looks forward to continuing exploring opportunities for Costa Rica and Kenya to strengthen cooperation and knowledge sharing, including potential benchmarking of Costa Rica’s CST model to inform Kenya’s efforts in advancing the sustainability of its tourism sector.
