| dc.description.abstract | The landscape of cultural tourism in Kenya is explored by this systematic
review with a keen focus on opportunities, challenges, and sustainable
development pathways. With the application of Preferred Reporting Items
for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, empirical
and theoretical literature from the past five years have been analysed by the
review to identify key themes and evidence-based insights. Peer-reviewed
journals, government reports, and institutional publications are some of the
sources from which Studies were derived. Findings show a growing
recognition of cultural tourism as a promoter of socio-economic
development, particularly in regions like Mount Kenya. Nonetheless, Key
Issues such as policy gaps, scarce infrastructure, and restricted community
participation hinder its potential. The review concludes by highlighting
critical areas for intervention and recommends multi-stakeholder
collaboration, strategic policy frameworks, and sustainable practices to
advance cultural tourism in Kenya. | en_US |
