KENYA HOSPITALITY TRADE FAIR 2014 A ‘SELL OUT’
(Posted 09th May 2014)
The final programme has now been released for the upcoming Hotel Summit East Africa 2014, which will run alongside the Kenya Hospitality Trade Fair 2014, both taking place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in the heart of Nairobi.
The trade fair will be open from May 14th to 16th while the hotel symposium will launch in the afternoon of the 15th with registration and a get to know each other session before a full day programme of speakers and presentations will keep delegates busy on the 16th of May.
The trade fair in the main exhibition hall of the KICC is reportedly sold out as suppliers from Kenya, the wider region and beyond are queuing up to impress buyers from the region’s hospitality sector who are looking for the latest gadgets and technology especially when it comes to cost savings in the kitchen and back of house operations.
Inspite of Kenya’s present downturn have the markets in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi been cautiously expanding with more hotels in the pipeline and due to open later this year.
Both events are supported by the East African Chamber of Commerce and the Kenya Tourism Board and are considered the largest such local event in Eastern and Central Africa, providing a focal point for hotel managers and hotel owners to get acquainted with the latest technologies and trends. Novel this year is the so called ‘Chef’s Corner’ with Kenya’s celebrity chef Ali who will do demonstrations and provide for tasting sessions throughout the three day trade show.
