Tourism Regulatory Authority, a State Corporation under the Ministry of
Tourism and Wildlife is established under the Tourism Act Cap 383 of 2011 and
is mandated to spearhead tourism regulations in Kenya. Since its
operationalisation in 2014, the Authority embarked on rolling out its functions
with particular focus on developing tourism regulations and formulating
guidelines.
This guideline was developed in response to the rising need to regulate the events
and entertainment sub sector with a view to enhance quality of events and
entertainment offered, customer satisfaction and ultimately contribute in
achieving The Kenya Vision 2030. In addition, the guidelines aim at streamlining
entertainment activities for the sector to meet global events and entertainment
standards for competitive advantage.
The development of this guideline embraced the stakeholders’ participation as
stipulated in the Constitution and is in tandem with the Authority’s mission,
vision and core values. This guideline endeavored to address the current issues
in the events and entertainment sub sector. However, due to the dynamism of
the tourism sector, this guideline will be reviewed periodically to keep abreast
with the emerging trends.

Tourism Act No 28
of 2011.
Tourism – All activities of persons travelling to and staying in places outside
their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure,
business and other purpose.
3. Background
The potential of tourism cannot be over emphasized as it is a large industry that
serves as a key contributor to socio-economic development. Events and
Entertainment remains an integral part of tourism not only in Kenya but
globally. This has been amplified by events and entertainment tourism being a
niche in the world today. The dynamic nature of the creative industry and
advancement in technology has given rise to numerous forms of events and
entertainment that is availed to the consumer. However, currently, the sector
lacks documented checks and balances on the quality of events and
entertainment on offer.
Globally, there has been an attempt to regulate events and entertainment in the
tourism and hospitality industry. Most of the developed countries have
professional organizations for entertainers. One such organization is the Screen
Actors Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG - AFTRA)
that represent approximately 160,000 members who are guided and adhere to a
code of conduct. In Australia, the Australian Entertainment Agents Association
(AEAA) works closely with agencies, performers, venues, and end clients to
ensure that its members deliver their services in a professional, timely and lawful
manner. To ensure the levels of service are maintained, the AEAA members are
guided by their code of ethics, performers’ guidelines, venue guidelines and
standards employment conditions. The rating of function facilities in
accommodation establishment’s world over can also be cited as another attempt
towards enhancement of quality of events and entertainment service in the
interest of customer satisfaction.
The growth of entertainment and events in the tourism and hospitality industry
in Africa especially in Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya cannot be gainsaid.
However, the entertainment and events organizations are regulated by different
institutions. For example in South Africa, events are regulated through Safety at
Sports and Recreational Events Regulations and the entertainment venues are
regulated by the Tourism and Grading Council of South Africa.

׉	 7cassandra://VRkFuKpbsiQC8RjEgQ-SFz0p3idUmQICw1ZLMIgZ15c` [@X<׉ENIn Kenya, regulating the events and entertainment sector wholesomely has been
a challenge due to the unique nature of the tourism industry. This has led to
fragmented checks and balances. This guideline therefore, attempts to
amalgamate the scattered regulations stipulated in a raft of legislations for ease
of direction, reference in doing business and quality service delivery.
4. Strategic Goals and Objectives
