The report is not about revenues, but travel and tourism competitive index, looking into the set of factors and policies that enable the sustainable development of this sector which include....well, look at tge table above, they have been listed in the first row.
Safety and security is the key reason Kenya is not doing well in terms of the tourist numbers+ revenues.....but in the all other aspects, Kenya has Tanzania totally beat!
See what they had to say about Tanzania:
Tanzania ranks 91st in 2017. It is home to one of the most impressive concentration of natural resources (8th) and wildlife globally, with its rich variety of landscapes, ranging from Mt. Kilimanjaro to its coastline and Zanzibar.
Yet international arrivals have flattened since 2012, when the country welcomed 1 million international visitors. Tanzania is a price-competitive destination (34th) where the government plays an active role in promoting the T&T sector (45th). Still, there is enormous untapped potential.
Cultural resources (86th) could be nurtured to better complement the natural and safari tourism offer.
While there has been some progress in the country’s infrastructure, particularly air (106th, up 10 places) and ground transport (102nd, up 18 places), it remains largely underdeveloped. Tourism service infrastructure (103rd) and, specifically, the hotel reception capacity, remain low (119th). Despite some improvements, Tanzania’s business environment (102nd) is still characterized by slow and costly processes to start a business or obtain construction permits.
Health and hygiene conditions (125th) are also improving very slowly. Similarly, the uptake of ICTs technologies is proceeding at a slower pace than in other countries (121st), with a particularly low increase in mobile broadband subscriptions.
Despite its immense potential, Tanzania still has important gaps to fill to fully leverage the T&T sector as a mean to increase its living conditions.

What is wrong with kusikia au kuona habari bandia?
In this age information technology, anybody with access to these "internet of things" is inevitably bound to come accross some news which could be fake.
Even u mulisaa have read or seen a fake news either online or on the traditional news platforms like tvs radios or newspapers......or from your friends even today.

We beat u cause we removed the bottlenecks we had in our tourism i.e. reducing dependence on JKIA by modernising KIA n JNIA n liberalizing our airspace to middleeast global giant airlines. We also did away tour packages with Kenya n as a result established Tanzania as a brand on its own. We also have done a lot of marketing.
If u believe u will catch up with us wait when ATCL receives her two Dreamliners to kickstart continental trips! Even the 30% u get on transit at JKIA will be further reduced. The other thing is u should be worried about is Zanzibar projects on beach n golf resorts plus airports n watersports. Currently there are nearly $5 bln spent on that front.
Moreover Bakhresa group are to start an airline soon. I know how serious they r when they venture into any business. So keep dreaming that historical advantage u have had is to be a history as Kenyans are naturally lazy noise makers.
