From now on, Kenyan establishments wishing to join Green Key will need to contact and apply for the Programme through KOEE.

Finn Bolding Thomsen, Green Key International Director, says: "We believe that the administration of Green Key programme through a national entity is an advantage enabling a closer contact between the Green Key administration and existing/potential Green Key establishments and with a better understanding of national conditions, while maintaining the international quality of the programme.

Two hotels in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi already have the Green Key: Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill and Park Inn by Radisson Nairobi Westlands. Until now, Green Key International (located at the head office of FEE) was administrating these establishments. They will now be transferred from Green Key International to KOEE.

Lorraine Dixon, Green Key National Operator in Kenya, adds: “We are excited to administer the Green Key programme in Kenya, and we will be looking forward to have many more establishments joining Green Key from all over Kenya. Any interested Kenyan establishment is welcome to contact us on the contact details below.
