The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) is set to enhance its visitor experience with the installation of dancing water fountains.
The Ksh100 million project will replicate Dubai’s iconic water displays and leverage artificial intelligence and robotics to synchronise music, lighting, and water movement.
According to KICC’s Director of Business Development, Geoffrey Thande, the project is expected to boost KICC’s global competitiveness in the tourism sector by attracting both corporate and leisure travellers seeking a unique experience in Nairobi’s central business district.
“The installation of dancing fountains at KICC expands the facility’s offerings for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE). Kenya is positioning itself as a premier MICE destination, and we believe this feature will complement the experience that delegates have at KICC,” said Thande.
KICC’s Technical Services Manager, Robert Ochieng, noted that the project aligns with global sustainability efforts by utilising solar energy and a self-cleaning robotic system to recycle water and minimise wastage.
The government-run conference facility has hosted major international events for over three decades positioning Kenya as a key player in the MICE industry.
