New tourism offering for younger travelers in Kenya

The tour then went to a Chinese restaurant to sample Chinese cuisine before moving to the National Museum and then a Chinese restaurant where the group also participated in activities such as Tai Chi and calligraphy. The group finished by attending a concert that lasted throughout the night.

Having lived in east Africa's largest city for the last four years, Long said it was time a platform existed to break a long-held stereotype between the locals and burgeoning foreign communities in Kenya.

"Everyone is in their own cocoon and have no idea how to reach out to another. This tour looks into the existing new cultures, architecture and entertainment that continuously shape our culture and lives as urbanites," she said.

Long said diversity is becoming increasingly important globally as the world shrinks under globalization. "The Chinese community does feel excluded despite wanting to reach out. They just don't know how. This is an ideal platform to learn the prevailing culture while sharing ours," she said.
