London’s new Kenya Coffee House is to exclusively feature Land & Marine’s Kenya Hotel & Restaurant Guide. Other L&M Kenya-related tourism titles will be added in due course.

Kenya Coffee House is a new brand, but with big plans to open more branches in the UK and Kenya.

Land & Marine will be producing in early 2014 a new publication, “Destination Cabo Verde”. The publication’s official launch will be at ITB in Berlin in March 2014.

Land & Marine client and low-cost carrier fastjet has announced that international flights will shortly commence from the airline’s Dar es Salaam base. Since launch in November 2012, fastjet has only operated domestic flights in Tanzania. Land & Marine produces fastjet’s in-flight magazine “Travelsmart”.

The third issue of “Travelsmart” is published today. “Travelsmart” is the in-flight magazine of low-cost carrier fastjet, which will launch flights within South Africa from early July and currently serves destinations in Tanzania. Issue four is due 1 September.
