After two hugely-successful hospitality trade shows in 2013 and 2014 in Nairobi, alongside the Hotel Summit East Africa, the inaugural edition of the Mombasa Hotel Show is due to take place from November 13-15 of this year.

Information just received from the organizers also confirms that the Mombasa County government will be the event patron with the County Governor expected to launch the show at Wild Waters, Nyali, Mombasa.

Like in Nairobi, the Mombasa Hotel Show is expected to become a prime time hospitality trade event for suppliers and hospitality businesses, more important at a time when the coast is struggling with low occupancies and many hoteliers will be keen to learn about the latest technologies helping them to keep operating costs down. Also on board is the Kenya Association of Hotel Keepers and Caterers Coast Branch.

Said the event organizer, Slujan Events, in a media release just received said: โ€œThe show, themed โ€˜Getting Back on Track,โ€™ is aimed at increasing investor confidence in the coast and country at large, and giving our local as well as international product suppliers an edge by providing a platform for them to engage and interact with the businesses, hotels, and lodges that are based in the coast region. This is also an opportunity for the business community to learn more about the business trends in the coast, their needs, know how to close business deals with the entities in the coast, and most importantly, increase their client base and make their products and services known.โ€

The show intends to be the leading hospitality business-to-business event in the coastal regions of East Africa and a prime reference point for any business owner or investor looking to grow their business. The show will present a holistic view of the hospitality industry with exhibitors being drawn from every sector of the industry.

Some of Kenyaโ€™s leading hospitality industry suppliers for equipment and consumables are, like at the Nairobi event, expected to sign up with sponsorships, and the winning formula of cooking shows, mixing presentations, wine and whiskey tasting, among other complementary activities, are also expected to feature during the Mombasa event.
