WELCOME Dear AHIF Family, Jambo! What can I say? This is a great honour to be welcoming all our Africa Hospitality Investment Forum family back to Kenya once more.

It seems a lifetime ago but, after a hugely successful AHIF in Kenya, we had planned on coming back to Nairobi in 2020. Sadly though we all know what happened, so after all the turmoil of the past few years it is wonderful to be back. With the world now functioning at pre-covid efficiency again we must not forget the lessons this period has taught our industry. AHIF will address some of the new trends leading after the pandemic – from exploring sustainable development to unlocking the leisure potential of Africa – but this year’s agenda will give you all the knowledge and insights to be equipped to find the best opportunities, relationships, and deals, across Africa.

It is worth noting that in 2018 Grant Thornton had just completed an impact study behind AHIF. They’d concluded that the total touristic contribution of the AHIF events (over a 5 year period from 2011 – 2016) had been $6.9m (another projected $9.9m from indirect and induced impacts) and has created approximately 5,462 jobs as a consequence.

To extrapolate for the purpose of this year’s event means that we can forecast that $1bn of deals is waiting to be done over the course of the next few days… So, get networking as soon as you can, either on our mobile app or by reaching out to our AHIF team to help you connect.

Feel the pulse of the African market; the sights, smells and energy. It is humbling to return and experience the wonderful hospitality here. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Cabinet Secretary, Minister of Tourism & Wildlife in Kenya, Hon, Peninah Malonza OGW for welcoming us back and being our guest of honour. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Westmont Hospitality Group and Actis for hosting us – without their support we wouldn’t have been able to bring you AHIF in Kenya.

Thank you to all of those who make AHIF what it is – our 34 sponsors, 75 speakers and 400 delegates… For those new to the AHIF family please look out for those who wear the AHIF pin – these are awarded to those who are our long-standing customers. They will give you advice and help you acclimatise to the event to gain the most from it. Please also feel free to join our welcome reception on Monday morning where I can talk you through the agenda and how to get the most out of AHIF 2023.

We have a fabulous agenda this year and one that recognises two of the biggest personalities of the industry. Mr Mahmud Jan Mohamed, Managing Director for Tourism Promotion Services, Serena Hotels Africa; Head of the Tourism Department for Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) will be recognised with the AHIF Leadership award and Jameel Verjee, Founder & CEO, CityBlue Hotels – a member of the Diar Group will be awarded the AHIF Outstanding Contribution to Africa Award.

I’d like to thank them both for accepting the honour and for everything they have done for African Hospitality.

This year’s agenda will not disappoint. From ministerial discussions and one-on-one interviews led by Peter Greenberg to a series of informative sessions led by JLL, The Economist, W Hospitality, Colliers and Knight Frank – AHIF leads the way for insights. It is heartening to see topics covering sustainability, human capital and leadership driving at the heart of change in the market. These days, the experience you have at a conference is as important as the information and connections you take back home with you, and this year we are delighted to host two wonderful receptions – firstly here at the Radisson Blu where Westmont Hospitality Group will host our opening reception. Followed by a short trip to the new Wojo property where we will be hosted by Kasada Capital Management for our second reception. Aside from that we have a charity run on Tuesday morning around the Nairobi Aboretum where we will be unveiling the AHIF Bench as well as raising money for the Friends of Nairobi National Park. We will also be going to the wonderful Social House for an insight session. We are also delighted to bring you the AviaDev Real Estate sessions – run by my colleague Jon Howell and the AviaDev team – these will present development opportunities for airports and be open to both AHIF and AviaDev attendees.

All of this would not be possible without the passion and dedication of the AHIF team. It would be remiss of me not to say thank you and well done to Mala, Tanja, Usama, Laura, Michelle, Jennifer, Ahmed, Innara and Joan.

The team are here to help you with any introductions and to facilitate meetings, should you need it.

Enjoy AHIF!

Matthew Weihs, Managing Director, The Bench

Nairobi National Park & The Social House (limited places) If the chance to see lion, leopard, buffalo, black rhinoceros, giraffe, hippopotamus, spotted hyena, blue wildebeest, plains zebra, cheetah, crocodile and more in their natural habitat… all before 9:30am appeals to you, then this little expedition is for you - a safari into Nairobi National Park. Plus you’ll learn from Friends of Nairobi National Park about conservation measures and the protection of the park’s biodiversity from the growing pressure of Kenya’s expanding capital city.

Then we’ll whisk you over to The Social House in Lavington where you’ll be treated to a cornucopia of eatables and drinkables with Peruvian, Mexican, Italian and Kenyan flavours. And you’ll hear about the story, the challenges and successes of a hotel that was named as runner-up to Hoxton Rome and alongside Capella Bangkok as Nat Geo’s best new urban hotel globally.

Depart from Radisson Blu at 5:30am Return to Radisson Blu at 12:00 noon Limited places - only by request.
