Mombasa

Mombasa is on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coastline, approximately midway between the border with

Tanzania in the south and Somalia in the north. It is the main entry point to the beach resorts to

the north & south of the city.

Mombasa is an old town with Arabic, Indian and Portuguese influences that has the largest port in

East Africa

Mombasa’s main advantage as a conference venue is the large accommodation capacity that

exists because of its position as Kenya’s main tourist city. It is estimated that there are 4,200

rooms in the vicinity of the conference centre location; Bamburi

Mombasa as a destination can also cater to conferences for which organizers are seeking a more

serene environment

Mombasa boasts of white sandy beaches and a pristine coral reef along one of the widest

shorelines on the continent

The Site at Bamburi

Bamburi is a short distance to the north of Mombasa town

Bamburi/Lafarge is a cement factory near a limestone quarry. Bamburi has evolved from an

industrial polluter to an environmental success

Instead of leaving empty quarries the owners of Bamburi embarked on a reclamation project

some decades ago, not only to cover the “scars” of mining but also make a contribution to

environmental preservation.

Worked out quarries have been planted with fast growing trees to create forests which have

then been populated with mammals such as deer and other species

These forests are open to the public with nature trails and open spaces for picnics, parties

and concerts

In one section the company has created a nature reserve called “Haller Park” featuring

wildlife in a mini- safari experience

A total of 18 hectares has been allocated by the Bamburi/Lafarge Cement Company to

Mombasa Convention Centre Limited (a Joint Venture between KTDC & The Treasury on

the basis of a long lease

The site is several meters below road level & therefore the bulk of the MICC can be hidden

from view avoiding a blot on the landscape that the owners of Bamburi have strived to

achieve

The eco-friendly focus of Bamburi/Lafarge means that the MICC will have to incorporate

energy saving, water saving and as much environmentally positive features as possible

The location of MICC within the proximity of a nature reserve, forest and a cement factory

presents a unique opportunity for the MICC to market itself as the only known international

convention centre within such a setting and be ideal for conferences with environmental

theme

Proposed Design of the Mombasa International Conference Centre

The Pre-Feasibility report suggests a total capacity of 3,500 persons

Main Auditorium having a capacity of 2,000 delegates on raked seating

Flat floor meeting/event space seating about 1,000 delegates

Two meeting rooms for about 150 persons each

Two meeting rooms for about 25 persons each

Two boardrooms for 15 persons each

Flexibility to be incorporated in the design of the facility to enable hosting of smaller conferences/events in the

main auditorium without appearing “empty”

Further suggestions on space will be derived from the demand for other facilities e.g. Catering, Retail and

Business Services as well as internationally accepted space ratios

Facilities to be included apart from dedicated conference and exhibition space are:

Museum (Swahili history & Culture), Boma (Cultural Centre) and Casino

Conclusions

There is a case for development of an International Convention Centre in the

attractive tourist city of Mombasa

Mombasa is an ideal location for development of an International Convention

Centre due to the tourism infrastructure already in existence

The site in Bamburi is highly suitable and will provide a unique environment which

will assist in marketing the facility

A facility with a maximum capacity of 4,000 is recommended with the main

auditorium for between 2,000 – 2,500 delegates

Other facilities on site to complement the conference facility will include a

Museum/Cultural Centre, Boma style entertainment Centre and a Casino

PROJECT PROFILE

A marina is an eco-tourism concept of a sheltered harbor where boats and yachts are kept in the water and where services geared to the needs of recreational boating are found.

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

GDP Tourism accounts for about 10% of the GDP. This is bound to increase with the new development by increasing international visitor arrivals and increasing the multiplier effect with the introduction of new tourism activities.

Apart from investment linked directly to the marina, there is also a potential benefit to wider levels of investment.

SOCIAL BENEFITS

Direct employment - Estimates of the number of direct jobs supported by the marina are based on its planned size and the number of boats forecast to use it each year.

The commercial development linked to the marina scheme will generate employment impacts of its own.

Kenya Vision 2030 identifies Marina development as a niche product

which aims to enhance capacity by investing in and upgrading hotel

facilities and to strengthen the existing beach tourism recreational

products along the Kenyan coast through yachting activities. The project

is to be realized through collaboration between Government and Private

sector.

The proposed development envisages making the region a yachting hub in the Indian

Ocean coast with itineraries to evocative destinations such as Zanzibar, Mauritius, the

Comoros, Madagascar and Seychelles as well as to South African region. Visitors sailing

their private leisure boat may moor for short or long term

The prospect of marina development is further being accelerated by the fact that,

Mombasa port is a popular call on two fronts – firstly as a home port for operators

dedicated to serving the Indian Ocean as a winter sun destination (especially as an

interesting alternative to the overcrowded Caribbean) and secondly as an exotic stop for

upscale round – the –world or similar type long – haul cruising. Its rich tourism hinterland,

sparkling sunny beaches and proximity to and international airport give the region a

strategic location on the Indian Ocean.

Turtles are often seen grazing on the corals, lionfish quietly watching you, blue

spotted sting rays darting away as you glide along the reef, crocodile fish

camouflaged in the sand, timid octopus and sleek looking squid.

It is a very relaxed easy dive with little or no current along the Pemba Channel:

Located on well stocked fishing grounds, the adjacent has a worldwide reputation

for sports angling. Many of IGFA Kenya, All Africa and World Records are obtained

here.

Kisite Mpunguti National Marine Park

This area is home to several pods of

dolphins, they are inquisitive, and there is

a good chance that they may pass by to

see who is there.

Dolphin encounters are common is this

area. Kisite Marine Park is a great dive for

beginners or those who have not dived for

a long time.

Wasini Island

It lies off the southern Indian Ocean coast of Kenya next to Shimoni. It is approximately

5 km long and 1 km across. The Island is sparsely populated and undeveloped.

A site of early Swahili civilization, this coral island is occupied by the Vumba people, an

indigenous group of Bantu speaking peoples who have a rich history. They speak Swahili

and Kivumba and they number about 1500. Mkwiro and Wasini are the two villages

present on the island - each at opposite ends.

Their history includes invasion and settlement of Arab influence from the Persian Gulf

states, and from the island of Zanzibar, further south.

Project Description

The Project shall be developed as a complete leisure tourism destination. The Marina shall

have provision for berthing yachts of different lengths. An indicative mix of accommodation

facilities, power, fuelling stations, club house etc. shall be included 

With respect to tourism, the location carries immense potential to become an exotic and

high-end holiday destination for eco-tourism and adventure tourism. The clear waters and

white sandy beaches make Shimoni a perfect tropical destination. Shimoni is surrounded by

shallow coral reefs and clear sea, ideal for a relaxed holiday.  

Though, Shimoni has many out of bound and protected areas, exquisite coral life and clear

waters offer delightful opportunities making it an ideal location for a relaxed holiday.

Conclusions

Undoubtedly, the Kenyan coastline has continued to be and remains a prime resource for

tourism development. Shimoni; the proposed site of the Marina boasts on of the most

pristine and undisturbed beaches in Kenya’s Coastal region in addition to unmatched variety

in marine flora and fauna

The growth of resorts at the coastal region has witnessed rapid expansion of tourist

activities in the recent past with areas like Mombasa Island, South coast and North Coast

The marina development presents a great opportunity to establish an upmarket tourist

offering in Shimoni which is significantly deprived of bed capacity
