Being reachable is not the same as having a number
A phone number that costs a visitor money to dial, in a format they are unsure of, is not really a way to reach you. A message costs them nothing from anywhere in the world and reaches the phone already in your hand.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
Most of it is decided before anybody lands
Tours, transfers, food, stays and crafts are largely chosen in advance, from photographs, by somebody not yet in the country. Your listing is what they are choosing between, which is why the pictures matter more here than the description.
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
- Customers can leave a rating and a review
- A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
The coast is busiest in December, and booked in October
December is the heaviest month for visitors in Kenya, and the coast takes a large share of it. Those trips are arranged weeks ahead by people who are still somewhere else, comparing photographs and messaging whoever answers. The businesses that get that work are the ones already listed while the planning is happening, not the ones discovered by somebody walking past in the last week of the year.

Questions
Can somebody abroad really message me?
Yes. Messaging works from any country to any number, which is why the listing leads with it rather than a phone number.
What does it cost?
Nothing to list, and no commission on bookings.
Do photographs matter that much?
For anything chosen in advance they are usually what decides between one business and another.
