  • Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa 2020 Report
    2020 Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa Front Page: Taj Cape Town Somerset Kilimani Nairobi 2 Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa 2020 Foreword Our 12th edition of the Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa brings news of a continuing increase in the chains’ development activity in Africa. The pipeline now sits at 77,896 rooms in 408 hotels, up 3.6 per cent on 2019. Looking back to our first report on Africa’s hotel development pipeline in 2009, there were then just under 30,000 rooms, so today we’re not far off three times that! The growth of the chains’ presence and pipeline in Africa has been an incredibly positive story, and we are proud to be deeply involved with it – in addition to the research work carried out for this report, we have provided professional advice to several of the projects that are included in the data. However, I am writing this foreword (and you are probably reading it) at a time of unprecedented global upheaval, a complete reset. Our industry – and I mean travel and tourism in the widest sense – has been particularly badly affected by the COVID-19 disease. We in the hotel industry have been completely reset, to what we just don’t know yet, but to a state smaller in terms both of supply and demand than we were just a few months ago, that’s for certain. There’s a new game coming when this is all over, and no one yet has any idea what we will be playing with, nor what the rules will be.

With the support of many industry participants and after countless working hours, this new benchmarking tool of hotel operator and brand presence is finally released. The report also provides valuable insights into the largest markets and countries with the strongest brand representation. Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints. In this first edition, we have captured more than 1.1 million existing and pipeline rooms spread over 4,743 properties. We have only included properties from operators and brands that were willing to contribute to our research.
