Welcome to the Africa Hotel Investment Forum

AHIF 2012 to take place 25 & 26th September 2012 at InterContinental, Nairobi  

Bench Events and The Kenya Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) are delighted to announce the Africa Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF) will be hosted in Nairobi on 25-25 September 2012 at the InterContinental.

AHIF will aim to showcase the potential Kenya has to offer as well as other high-growth destinations across the continent as a whole. The Economist magazine recently identified that over the past decade six of the world’s fastest-growing countries were African. IMF expects Africa to grow by 6% in 2012. Nairobi is not only the focus of Africa but of the entire world. If you are looking to grow your business, you can no longer ignore Africa!

The 2011 conference, hosted in Morocco, was attended by 350 delegates from 34 countries including eight government ministers and officials. Details of the 2012 programme will be announced shortly.

"Hotel investors are now convinced of the higher yields around the African continent. The event was not so much about whether there is an opportunity in Africa but more about how to practically unlock this value and approach hotel investment. It is an ideal forum to meet the key players." Nawfal Bendefa, Managing Director, Actif Invest 

"I congratulate you on the best Hotel investor conference to date on the African continent; the nearest we've come to a "wee Berlin". There was tangible confidence and a desire to strike deals, in the current economic climate, is testament to the fact that you brought together the appropriate industry players - well done." Ewan Cameron - Lonrho Hotels 

“The African continent has been crying out for this event.  Having so many of the right people all in one place at one time on African soil will definitely support infrastructure development and growth across the continent.” Marianne Ndegwa Jordan, Kenya Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) 

“A ground breaking event for Africa. For Morocco to attract this calibre of conference, will help support and deliver our 2020 vision for tourism in the region. For the rest of Africa it will help build a better appreciation of the potential within the continent.” HE Yassir Zenagui, Minister Of Tourism and Handicraft, Kingdom of Morocco
