Rwanda hotel

KIGALI may not be on everyone’s travel brief but the capital of Rwanda has made considerable strides since the 1994 genocide, with per capita income having nearly tripled since the early 1990s.  The 2010 World Bank Doing Business survey ranked Rwanda as the “Top Reformer” globally in 2009.  This new optimism is personified by the announcement from Rezidor Hotel Group of a contract being signed for a 292-room Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre due to open in 2012.  The property is a key element in a portfolio which this year includes openings in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Maputo (Mozambique), Lagos (Nigeria), Johannesburg and Cape Town (South Africa) and Lusaka (Zambia). www.investor.rezidor.com
