Kenyans are searching online for holiday destinations, product offers and concerts to engage in to rekindle memorable experiences as Easter holiday approaches.
The Google Easter Search Trends reveal the Easter weekend is a big shopping opportunity where businesses announce discounts for their various products and services.
Sharon Machira, Google’s Communications and Public Affairs Manager in Kenya says, 'Search is a useful tool that helps people explore and discover a world of information.
"It helps them create wholesome experiences at home and away. Even when it comes to travel and holiday destinations, people trust Google Search to help them with answers to their biggest questions."
The search trends show Easter online offers dominated searches with many also seeking items to decorate their homes, choose gifts for loved ones, especially children.
