(Ecofin Agency) - Despite economic challenges in Africa, hospitality development activity has increased 13% in 2017. This was indicated in the 2017 annual survey of W Hospitality Group.
This figure as well other statistics related to hotel development across the continent will be discussed by industry leaders and government officials at the seventh Africa Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF) which will be held in Kigali, Rwanda, next October.
Over the past years, the hospitality sector in Africa has recorded a significant increase in its activity. This is mainly due to the fact that many foreign hotel chains such as Accorhotels, Hilton and Mariott are expanding across the region.
