The African continent brims with new hotel investments and developments. For many years, obstacles such as infrastructure and workforce prevented a boom in tourism in the industry. Hotel owners and operators, however, are now making up for lost time.

In fact, according to the TOPHOTELCONSTRUCTION database, the project pipeline for African hotel construction is more robust that it has been in years. Africa has even surpassed Latin America in a list of the world's most active pipelines. In fact, numbers from the TOPHOTELCONSTRUCTION database currently show that while Africa only has 305 projects in its pipeline compared to Latin America's 314, Africa is on pace to add 73,528 new rooms while Latin America will only see the addition of 72,065 new rooms.
