Serena Beach Hotel in Mombasa shut down

Until a vaccine is developed I don't see tourism recovering in less than a year.

Terrible even after a vaccine is discovered many foreigners especially from the west will be fearful and consider risky to visit Africa.

Very true, very slow recovery in foreign tourists. Local tourists will be key in giving the sector a lifeline post virus similar to the time when alshabaab wrecked the industry.


Local tourists it will be tough.
Count the job losses and diminishing disposable income

It will be difficult for Kenya's economy to recover from the wastage and stealing of public funds done by Jubilee in the first term

This one I have sold. I was hoping for a turnaround after completion of Nairobi Serena renovations. No chance of a turnaround in view of the Covid-19 closures.

In addition, the USD 65 Million debts on balance sheet will weigh heavily on the survival chances of the company.

Sad to let go after holding on for more than 5 years but I might re-enter if prospects improve.

Same. COVID has done a number on TPS.

When you hold a stock for long you become attached to it.I also recently sold all my shares in carbacid after holding it for five years.Every year the dps was 0.70.
I felt as if I have given away part of me!

It sure does but there is no need of holding on to a stock of a company whose going concern is not assured. Better to salvage whatever is salvageable.

That would have been tough considering Norfolk + Mara Fairmont (Tents) = 2.8bn
The jamaa who bought Norfolk should make a bid for TPS smile
