The Cabinet has resolved to host four major International and regional conferences.
The decision has been occasioned by the move to implement a visa-free policy.
In a Cabinet dispatch Wednesday, the cabinet endorsed hosting regional, continental and global conventions.
"In affirming Nairobi's status as the preeminent destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) and boosted by the recently implemented Visa-Free Regime in Kenya, the Cabinet considered and endorsed the hosting of regional, continental, and global conventions, meetings," the dispatch read.
The conventions include the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly(UNEA-6) and the African Minerals Geosciences Centre (AMGC) Policy Organization Meeting and
Others are the Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre (GIEC) events organised in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union and the Network of Africa Data Protection Authorities (NADPA) Conference, 2024.
The Cabinet said that each of the events holds the promise of further enhancing the nation's standing on the international stage.
The events are also envisaged to make significant contributions to the transfer of knowledge and skills as well as the advancement of the extractive industries and ICT sector.
In December, President William Ruto announced the removal of visa requirements for all foreign nationals visiting and transiting through Kenya from January 2024.
The move is aimed at boosting tourism and attracting more foreign investments to the country.
The first batch of visa-free travellers landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi in January.
