African Sun’s management team has been able to draw on its experience gained from operating in a challenging macro-economic environment in Zimbabwe into its key expansion markets.
Farayi Mangwende, African Sun’s group corporate communications manager, who was present to receive the award said: “It’s an honour for us to receive this award. Last year we had several high-profile guests staying at some of the properties we manage, the most eminent being the Obama’s at The Holiday Inn Accra, Ghana. In Nigeria, we had eight FIFA U17 teams electing to stay at the Nike Lake Resort and the Amber Tinapa. This award is a global reaffirmation that Zimbabwe can, and does, produce highly skilled professionals of a world-class calibre.”
The awards, held on 18 February in Harare, had over 50 nominees in total and six for the category that African Sun won. The Africa Investor Tourism Awards were created to showcase industry opportunities and achievements of stakeholders in the sector. The awards were held alongside the Zimbabwe Tourism Investor Summit, which attracted over 600 participants that included local business leaders as well as international investors.
