The recent project which is restoring Old town by Mombasa County Department of Youth, Gender, Sports & Cultural Affairs is great example of reviving the tourism industry. Part of restoration project is telling the Mombasa story, the history, the culture and what Mombasa is all about. Mombasa Old town is part of UNESCO Heritage site , the area must be protected.
