Governor Amason Kingi said the devolved unit will this year allocate funds for upgrading infrastructure in Malindi.
Mr Briatore challenged Kenya Airways to introduce a direct flight from Italy to Nairobi.
Concern has been raised over the historic town of Malindi losing international investment opportunities for high-end tourism due to poor infrastructure.
Mr Flavio Briatore, an Italian billionaire investor, said poor roads and lack of hygiene have made many investors reluctant to set up tourism projects or encourage their friends to invest in the resort town.
