About Kenya Association of Travel Agents

The Kenya Association of Travel Agents (KATA) is a membership based organization that has represented the interests of Kenyan travel agents since 1979 when its forerunner, the East African Society of Travel Agents, which had been in existence for 22 years was disbanded due to the collapse of the East African Community. KATA works to enhance and improve the Travel Industry business climate in Kenya by promoting the services of her members to the general public, protecting their rights and assisting them to optimize their businesses. Over 200 IATA & NON - IATA Travel Agencies and 4 IATA approved Training colleges are active members. All these members are bound by KATA’s constitution and Code of ethical & professional Standards. While KATA promotes free trade without violating rules and regulations, we have entrenched a Constitution and Code of ethical & professional Standards that self-regulates thus providing the consumer with protection and peace of mind. The Association is a member of the Universal Federation of Travel Agents' Association (UFTAA) and the Federation of Eastern and Southern African Travel Agents (FESATA) and works closely with the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Tourism and related Government Parastatals. KATA also plays an important role in the private sector bodies such as the Kenya Tourism Federation (KTF) and The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). Our Vision To be the leading authority on travel trade in Kenya Our Mission To champion and sustain growth of travel industry in Kenya Code of conduct To create and maintain the highest possible standard of integrity amongst Members of KATA in their dealings with Consumers, their principals and each other.
