Several countries have stepped up their warnings against travel to Kenya's restive port city of Mombasa following a wave of attacks and unrest linked to Islamist extremists. Advice from Britain, France and Australia to their nationals to avoid the coastal city deals a fresh blow to Kenya's already embattled tourism sector, as avoiding Mombasa complicates travel to nearby beach resorts.
Britain's Foreign Office on Wednesday became the latest this week to warn against "all but essential travel to Mombasa", citing "recent terrorist attacks and the continuing terrorist threat in the area." Australia also updated its travel advice, urging its nationals to "reconsider their need to travel" to both Mombasa and the capital Nairobi, which has also been hit by a wave of bombings in recent weeks.
