Description

Tourism

The county is traditionally known as the „Cradle of Mankind . This is a brand that should be marketed at the local and global platform to attract tourists to the county. The county is home to great archaeological findings and a rich history and heritage dating back to many years. The rich culture of the Turkana people coupled with their unique song and dance is an opportunity that the county leadership must market to the world. The County has three National Parks; Turkana South, Sibiloi and Central Islands. The county has vast land and should invest in conservancies, especially on the western border with Uganda.
