In 2024, travel and tourism accounted for 10.1% of Kenya's national GDP. That places Kenya 15th among the 42 economies tracked in the WTTC Economic Impact Research 2025. Every figure on this page is anchored to that release — no estimates, no AI-generated numbers.
Travel and tourism represented 10.1% of Kenya's national GDP in 2024. By tourism's share of the national economy, Kenya ranks 15th of the 42 economies in the WTTC panel — a measure of how concentrated the country is on travel and tourism relative to its overall output. WTTC forecasts the sector to reach 10.1% of GDP in 2025.
Within Africa, Kenya's 10.1% tourism share of GDP sits alongside regional peers such as Morocco (12.2%), Egypt (8.5%), South Africa (8.4%). Comparing these economies on the same WTTC-verified basis is what makes cross-country tourism benchmarking reliable — every figure is drawn from the identical EIR 2025 methodology.
WTTC projects tourism to settle at 10.1% of Kenya's GDP by 2035, compared with from 10.1% in 2024. Long-range share forecasts like this are the backbone of demand-planning and investment-attractiveness analysis for Kenya.
Taken together, these WTTC-verified figures position Kenya 15th of 42 economies by tourism's share of GDP. For analysts, the value here is reproducibility: every claim on this page is anchored to a single, named source (WTTC EIR 2025) and can be re-derived line by line — no black-box estimates, no model drift between report runs.
