In line with the vision for East African countries to grow as an internationally popular tourist destination, investment in world class tourist facilities have been identified as a key priority for economic development.

For investors, all signs point to opportunity. Opportunity by the names of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda.

With the East African Community’s recent initiative to market the region as a single tourist destination, it is clear that the tourism sector is set for unprecedented growth.

East African countries are keen to further develop existing infrastructure, while diversifying its sources of tourism. The entire value chain or the tourism sector is in need of investment, from the development of hotels to hospitality training schools, and entertainment strips.

The East African Tourism Investment Summit will discuss strategies on investment in tourism opportunities to shape and influence the economic growth and development of East Africa.
