CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Tourism was a product that relied on simultaneous production and consumption of products and services. In effect, if tourist don't visit a destination, then there are no measurable outputs of the industry's activities. However if tourists visit a destination, the implication of this for the destination population is that it will become into encounter with an alien population. That encounter was beneficial or .detrimental to the host community /population depending upon the difference in cultures and the nature of encounter. Kadit (1979) Kenya's culture was the total sum of diverse cultural activities that were performed by various tribes· in Kenya. Kenya had approximately 42 tribes, and all these tribes had separate cultures, rules and regulations along with different languages. Kenya was rich of culture and tribes h ad a right to make their contributions.
