Christmas and New Year are looking very good and most hotels are fully booked with domestic and international tourists,\u201d said Mkolwe.<\/p>\n<p>Kwale County Commissioner (CC) Gideon Oyagi says security has been tightened ahead of the Christmas and New Year festive season in anticipation of high numbers of both local and international tourists.<\/p>\n<p>Oyagi says police have beefed up security for the festivities to effectively deter criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>He says police have started securing places of worship, public beaches and other tourist spots to ensure a peaceful environment before, during and after the December and New Year celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kwale, Kenya, Dec 13 \u2013 Seafront hotels in Diani Beach are bracing for the peak tourism season as holidaymakers flock back to the sandy beaches while bed occupancy increases.
