Protea Hotels Continues Expansion on the African Continent: First Protea Hotel in Botswana

http://news.marriott.com/2016/06/pro...otel-botswana/

"Protea Hotels today announced the signing of agreements for the development of its first hotel in Botswana, the ninth country in Africa in which the brand will have a presence. First established in South Africa, Protea Hotels has expanded over recent years into Zambia, Nigeria, Namibia, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania and Ghana.

As regards Africa more specifically, 10 new hotels are scheduled to open during 2016.

Protea’s new Botswana property, scheduled to open in early 2018, will be located in the capital, Gaborone. It is strategically positioned in the new Central Business District of the city where there are a number of recently-developed corporate head offices, government offices and various retail facilities. The hotel’s site was carefully selected for its visibility and accessibility; a prominent location near two of the city’s main roads."

Cheers.
