FYI These are the views value hungry tourists pay for.

They do the same with Ngurdoto craters and Momella park views too! Substantiate Mt Kilimanjaro leading tourism attraction in Kenya! muache ujinga!

The mountain is a revenue generating attraction for Kenya all the same. Most tourists aren't just interested in seeing the mountain, they want to enjoy it as a backdrop to game viewing and Kenya has succeeded in tapping into this than Tanzania. When you are in Moshi, yes you can see the mountain but you wont see elephants/giraffes/lions along with it, certainly not the view you will get in a lodge deep in Amboseli. That's the difference, and that's whats Kenya is selling. For a value oriented tourist, that's a big deal.

But you have also made my point for me, what TTB should consider is showing the alternatives as you have listed them there, Arusha National, Momella and Mkomazi. Take photos at these parks, use them to counter the Kenyan narrative, basically show better alternatives to the views that Kenya has to offer. If it is true, then surely the tourists themselves will see the value for money and the hype for the Kenyan side will die down. But expecting the Kenyans not to use the mountain to attract tourists just because it is in Tanzania is hypocritical. This is a race to woo tourist dollars and the best marketed vantage point will always win.

That's the bottom-line right there, the mountain has so many view points, and only one from Kenyan side. So it boils down to marketing strategies and value addition.

I still don't get why you are insisting on me to substantiate mt Kilimanjaro being a leading tourist attraction in Kenya. That's not even the point. Smh

Muria leading means on top on tourists number and revenue. On the list u provided Amboseli NP was number 8! That's my argument u r fond of lies.

"Tanzania pulls out" ndio headlines ambazo huwapa raha Wabongo, pulling out, pulling out, pulling out, siku zote uwoga na kutokujiamini kwa lolote na popote.
Muwekeze kwenye elimu ili umma wa Tanzania uwe na uwezo wa kushindana na kuongoza, sio haya maisha ya mkisikia jina la Kenya mnababaika na kutetereka.

Wakenya tumewekeza kwenye nguvu kazi. Juzi kuna sehemu niliwaskia dada wa Kitanzania wakiongea wenyewe ofisini sehemu, halafu mmoja akasema "Hiyo ripoti imeandaliwa na Mkenya, chezea Wakenya wewe, wanajituma kweli".... Hawakujua mimi Mkenya, aisei nilihisi mzuka, nilihisi nipae kwa mabawa...yaani hadi raha....

Nafikiri hii picha hapa inaelezea kitu cha kujifunza kuhusu Kenya....

u are contradicting urself with this photo....this shows just how much Kenyans and Kenya as a nation are strong & versatile such that when other nations including tz are on the ground literally struggling to catch their breaths, we are still standing strong ,not to mention we are winners. ....
