Ajay K. Bakaya stated that Africa continues to remain an important growth market for the company, supported by opportunities in business and leisure tourism. He added that the Kampala hotel launch demonstrates Sarovar Hotels’ commitment to expanding in high-potential international destinations while maintaining global hospitality standards with local relevance.

The launch comes at a time when several hospitality brands are increasing investments across Africa due to improving connectivity, urban development, and growing tourism activity.
