Where Nature Meets Hospitality
A Welcome Message from the General Manager, Ol Tukai Lodge – Amboseli
It is with great pride and heartfelt warmth that I welcome you to Amboseli National Park and to Ol Tukai Lodge, the host destination for the International Sustainable Green Tourism Convention & Exhibition 2026. Amboseli is more than a destination; it is a living landscape where nature, culture, and heritage exist in delicate balance. Framed by the majestic presence of Mount Kilimanjaro and defined by its vast plains, ancient wildlife corridors, and iconic elephant herds, this ecosystem reminds us daily that tourism’ s greatest asset is the environment itself.
Hosting this landmark convention in such a setting is both a privilege and a responsibility we embrace with deep commitment.
At Ol Tukai Lodge, sustainability is not an abstract concept— it is embedded in how we operate, how we serve, and how we engage with our surrounding communities. From responsible water and energy use, to conservation partnerships and community-based employment, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that tourism must protect the very landscapes and cultures that make it possible. It is therefore fitting that conversations on the future of sustainable tourism take place here, in the wild, where policy meets practice and vision meets reality.
This gathering is especially significant as it represents the first international tourism conference hosted within a natural ecosystem, moving beyond conventional conference halls into an environment that inspires
OMOJOY TOURIST PRODUCTS authenticity, reflection, and accountability. The open-air sessions, immersive field engagements, and evening bonfire dialogues are designed to foster honest conversation and collaborative solutions— culminating in the Bonfire Resolutions, a collective commitment to actionable outcomes for sustainable tourism. We are honoured to host delegates from across Kenya, Africa, and the world— policymakers, industry leaders, conservationists, investors, community representatives, and innovators— who share a common purpose: to shape a tourism sector that delivers environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and economic resilience. Your presence here reinforces Amboseli’ s role not only as a conservation stronghold, but also as a global classroom for sustainable tourism leadership.
I encourage you to take time during your stay to experience Amboseli beyond the conference sessions— witness the harmony between wildlife and people, engage with local Maasai communities, and reflect on the responsibility we all share as custodians of tourism’ s future.
On behalf of the entire Ol Tukai Lodge team and our community partners, I warmly welcome you. May your time in Amboseli be inspiring, transformative, and a catalyst for meaningful action long after you depart.
Karibuni Amboseli. Karibuni Ol Tukai Lodge.
