“By creating this ‘one-stop shop’, Hotel Partners Africa is filling that gap available in the market.
“Our aim is to construct long-standing relationships with major players, particularly the hotel chains, developers, fund managers, contractors and homeowners and to produce them with a comprehensive and highly proactive service.”
