Kenya has reduced national park entry fees for Kenyan and international visitors to help rescue the tourism industry from the impact of measures taken to curb the coronavirus pandemic.

Lodges inside the parks have also been given a year's moratorium from paying rent.

Filmmakers have also been given a 50% discount on filming fees charged in parks.

Tourism Minister Najib Balala urged the lodges to use the rent holiday to improve services.
