Radisson is not alone in these efforts to grow in the African continent. Global hotel chains, including Marriott International and Hyatt Hotels have been increasing investments in Africa, which has some of the world’s fastest growing economies and a rising middle class.
Radisson Hotel Group plans to open a further five hotels across Africa in 2019, four of which are located in the Francophone market, pushing the African portfolio to more than 50 hotels in operation before year-end.
These openings include the first Radisson Blu hotel in Casablanca, which is the Group’s second hotel in Morocco, scheduled to open within the next six months, as well as their first hotel, and the countries first internationally branded hotel in Niger, with the opening of Radisson Blu Hotel Niamey in Q2 this year.
“Our strategy will most certainly reinforce our presence in key markets not only in the Francophone markets, but across Africa, as we continue to focus on delivering on our expanding pipeline,” Rankoussi said.
