Why Invest in Africa?

Africa's hospitality market presents unmatched potential for investors:

High Growth Rates

Africa is the world's second fastest-growing economic region, and its hospitality sector is expected to see annual growth of 8.68%, with revenue forecasted to reach $13.8 billion by 2027.

Young, Expanding Population

Africa's young, rapidly urbanising population is driving demand for hotels, entertainment, and leisure, making it a rich ground for hospitality investments.

Resilient Tourism Sector

With a growing interest in both business and leisure travel, Africa's tourism sector saw 67 million visitors in 2018 and remains resilient with 6-7% growth annually, driven by improved air connectivity and expanding business hubs.

Opportunities in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)

With 89% of African hospitality firms prioritising ESG initiatives, investors have a unique opportunity to align with businesses committed to long-term sustainability, meeting the expectations of values-driven travelers and stakeholders.
