From the article...
Any journalist wanting a quick Africa poverty story can find it there in half an hour. And now at least one travel agency offers tours round Kenya's Kibera slum, one of Africa's largest. "People are getting tired of the Maasai Mara and wildlife.
No one is enlightening us about other issues. So I've come up with a new thing — slum tours," enthused James Asudi, general manager of Kenyan-based Victoria Safaris.

I saw this the other day. Hubby said he woudn't go back to Kenya, let alone pay for it. Plus, just read the N.O tourism is "rebounding".
FYI: Savannah, GA, does a bus tour of the historic area and to make the round back to the station goes through the projects. Not a great feeling.
