When was the last time you felt a thrill at the prospect of planning a journey that would linger in your memory long after you had unpacked your suitcase? Picture yourself walking through the crowded halls of the Sarit Expo Center. The aroma of fresh coffee fills the air and mixes with the excited chatter of other explorers. The sun shines on colourful banners, and every face you see seems to tell a story about a different part of the world. Welcome to the 41st edition of the Holidays Tourism Fair 2026.

The 2025 Holidays Tourism Fair attracted over 4,000 visitors from diverse sectors, including banking, finance, ICT, medical, and travel, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. With 80 exhibitors showcasing their offerings—from hotels and resorts to airlines and travel agencies—the event was a bustling hub of inspiration and opportunity.

That’s how it will feel to be at the Holidays Tourism Fair 2026. Over the course of five days, the space transforms into a dynamic map that allows you to explore various options, ranging from untamed savannahs to serene beaches and vibrant city escapes. It’s not about looking through brochures here. You’re meeting the people who make these places come alive. You talk to a tour guide, listen to a chef talk about the spices used in coastal food, or get advice from a family that just got back from a holiday in the Maasai Mara over lunch.

Discovering exclusive deals at the fair, such as seasonal packages and upgrades (Easter is just around the corner), fulfils your “what if”? fantasies, which entice you to explore further. At that moment, you feel a quiet spark when you realise you can actually book the trip you’ve been putting off.

The fair is for everyone: solo travellers looking for their next adventure, parents looking for family fun, friends planning a trip, and even experienced business travellers who know a decent deal when they see one. Kids run from one interactive activity to the next, and a sense of community grows as people gather around live presentations, share tips, and laugh.

It’s easy to feel at home with people who are curious like you. The exhibitors don’t just sell trips; they also listen. You talk about your ideas, ask questions, and get advice that is right for you, not just the average traveller.

A quick tip for exhibitors. In 2025, the highest footfall was recorded on Wednesday and Thursday and peaked on Friday. Optimising your presence these days this year could maximise your engagement and success, assuming a similar attendance pattern occurs this year.

As for the travel buffs, please mark March 18–22, 2026, on your calendar. The Holidays Tourism Fair is one of those annual events where travel becomes personal, ideas turn into action, and your next story might start. You’ll leave with new friends, some surprises, and a sense of excitement that makes life a little better. Why put off your next trip? Nairobi is where the world is coming together, and your adventure begins here.
