Love is back in the air. After almost two years of restrictions on travel, meeting and dining out, which is the essence of romance, Valentine’s Day this year is one that lovers and business people who exploit the accompanying emotions around it are only too glad to see.
In Nairobi, businesses have grabbed prime billboards and roadside advertising screens to market their special Valentine’s offers, from themed getaways, gift hampers, romantic dinners and chocolates and wines. On the street, window displays in shops are filled with red-themed gift hampers.
