Kenya has 31 new hotels in the pipeline this year with a total of 4,268 rooms, a new report says, signalling the continual recovery of the tourism and hospitality sector even as visitor numbers keep soaring.
This will mark a rise from 25 new units that were set up in 2023, according to the latest Hotel Chain Development Pipeline Africa report from the W Hospitality Group. It shows ongoing and planned construction will bring an extra 4,268 rooms, adding to the 3,729 units recorded last year.
