The county’s breathtakingly scenic landscapes and beautiful terrains combine perfectly with patches of extensive savannah low plains that provide broad opportunities in tourism.
The county has identified tourism and entertainment as a priority sector where investors are invited to partner with the county on the following strategic focal areas:
Conference Tourism
There is opportunity to tap into conference tourism given that Kenya’s marketing efforts are positioning the Country as a regional hub for doing business. Machakos’ proximity to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport positions the county as a viable meeting and conferencing alternative to the capital city Nairobi.
Medical Tourism
Machakos County is open to support investors in healthcare by providing land to put up world-class medical facilities that will position Machakos as a healthcare destination for tourists from the region. We are open for an ultra-modern Heart, Kidney and Cancer Centre to serve the wider Kenyan population.
Sports Tourism
Machakos is a centre for culture, arts and sports. The CAR Africa women’s Sevens Cup, The Bamburi Rugby Super Series, The Tusker premier league, The Masaku 7s Rugby Tournament and The East and Central Africa Senior Challenge tournament are some of the sporting activities happening in the county.
The county is seeking investment partners in sports stadia, sporting activities and has even set aside land for the construction of a Formula 1 race track.
