The seventh Africa Hotel Investment Forum, being hosted this year in Rwanda, promises a highly influential line-up of speakers, ready to unpick the major challenges and opportunities facing the hospitality industry in Africa.

AHIF brings together a prestigious group of international investors, business leaders, industry experts, government ministers and officials, from over 50 countries.

It gives delegates the chance to network, learn about latest developments, share expertise, make business pitches and secure future deals.

Bench Events managing director Matthew Weihs, organiser of AHIF, said: “AHIF is renowned as the place where conversations lead to firm projects and the private and public sectors come together to form mutually beneficial partnerships.

“Our cast of high-level experts is attracting significant interest from delegates across the globe, with attendance set to increase on previous years.”

Major highlights at AHIF include an economic outlook for Africa, an examination of developing tourism infrastructure on the continent, and a review of the impact of Marriott’s acquisition of Starwood.

The event takes place at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre in Kigali from October 4th-6th.
