Swiss-Belhotel mulls expansion in Africa by 2021

Mubasher: Swiss-Belhotel International is currently considering an expansion plan for Africa by the year 2021, according to an official statement.

“Our goal is to have five hotels in Africa by 2021. We recently signed a management agreement with Zanzibar Crown Hotel and Resort Limited to operate the beautiful Swiss-Belresort Zanzibar that is expected to open for business in 2019. It will be among the few internationally branded resorts to operate in the island. In addition, we are in negotiation for some superb projects in various other parts of the continent,” Laurent A. Voivenel, senior vice president, operations and development for the Middle East, Africa, and India for Swiss-Belhotel International, said.

Voivenel stated, “Africa is an exciting market because it is still in its infancy and there is plenty of room for growth. The tourism industry has been strengthened by both domestic and inbound travelers.”

“More international brands have started entering the market and our aim is to position Swiss-Belhotel International as the best alternative to blue chip companies offering superior returns, unbeatable value and unforgettable experiences,” the senior vice president said.
