MUMBAI: After attracting hordes of Indian tourists, the tourist department of Kenya, is now trying to woo Bollywood producers to shoot their films in the country.

KTB (Kenya Tourist Board) marketing director Jennifer Opondo said in a statement that the board is now marketing Kenya as an ideal location for film shooting.

"After due diligence with Indian film production houses, the Kenya Film Commission is expected to come out with a policy that would facilitate film shooting," Opondo said. “We are working in coordination with the Kenya Film Commission and are studying the dynamics of Indian film production houses so as to be able to support them in their endeavours."

The Kenya Film Commission has been acting as one stop shop for filmmakers cutting across the tedious licensing regime prevalent earlier. The commission has also started suggesting suitable sites for film shooting to the production houses visiting Kenya.
