Africa’s hotel and hospitality sector set to flourish

The hotel and hospitality sector continues to show signs of resilience and growth, with positive prospects ahead. According to the 2023 Hotel and Hospitality Industry Confidence Index, participants across the continent are optimistic about the future of the industry.
