The rally’s return to Naivasha creates employment opportunities for locals. The event required a workforce to handle logistics, event management, security, and other support services. This employment boost creates a positive ripple effect, as increased disposable income in the community leads to higher spending on goods and services, benefiting small businesses and vendors in the area.

Attracting both local and foreign motor sports enthusiasts, the event presents an opportunity to showcase other attractions in the area such as Mt. Longonot, Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha. The county government of Nakuru should seize this opportunity by promoting other tourist attractions in the area thus helping to further boost its revenue collection efforts.

The WRC Safari Rally’s return to Naivasha is set to reinvigorate the local economy and bring immense benefits to businesses in the region. The event’s success in 2022 demonstrated the potential for motorsport tourism in Kenya and highlighted Naivasha as a vibrant destination. The rally’s impact on tourism, business growth, infrastructure development, and community empowerment is a testament to the power of major sporting events to stimulate economic activity and uplift communities. With Kenya extending the WRC agreement to host the event until 2026, Naivasha should continue to build on its success, and set a promising precedent for future events and investments in the region.
