AHIF 2022 | The Bench | 10 October 2022 | TBA, Kigali, Rwanda

Although there remains continued uncertainty around international travel - the importance of getting together, understanding industry sentiments, gaining knowledge, making new contacts and securing future business partners has never been more essential.

Since launching the event in 2011, we have seen this event grow into the premier meeting place for the hospitality investment community in Africa. AHIF has been the conference that has fueled connections and partnerships which has resulted in significant development across the continent over the last decade.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors and supporters for working with us over the past two years and engaging in our digital offerings. I would like to extend a special thanks to the Radisson Hotel Group for hosting AHIF 2022 in Rwanda – it is a tremendously special place and we can’t wait to return.

Attracting the top hotel investors, owners, financiers and developers, AHIF has always been a platform for both learning and networking. Now, in a post covid world, this event is as much a source of reconnecting as well as a source of support and solidarity in driving business into Africa.
