Networking + New Entries

From brand-free markets with zero international hotel presence to $55M resort opportunities in Egypt and Zanzibar — this is where new market entries begin. 20 African countries have no international brand yet.

Africa is building 675 hotels right now. Be in the room where the capital moves.

123,846 rooms across 54 nations. 18.6% year-on-year pipeline growth. $3.5 billion in FF&E contracts. $260 billion sector by 2030. The continent is not waiting — and neither are the investors who understand it.
