Tourism for Peace and Culture

The County of Turkana experiences some challenges concerning peace around its borders, which has a negative impact on Tourism. At Eliye Springs Resort we believe, that tourism is by definition a peace-building industry because it connects people from all sorts of life and origins. On top visitors in our days are much interested in the surrounding Culture.

As such Eliye Springs Resort steps above being a hotel only, instead, it presents regular Cultural Shows addressing Peace- and other Cultural aspects. Whoever is interested in partnering with this movement don't hesitate to get in touch with Rolf, 0700-003546.
