Some African countries are known for its dynamic tourism such as Kenya and Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Idyllic pictures of Safari-tourists can be drawn out of this imagination. However, the hotel industry that is also linked to business travelling is the most prospering in Western Africa. The first slide of the month in 2017 indicates that 45% of the African new hotel rooms were built in Western Africa. Also, in Nigeria more than 10.000 hotel rooms were planned in 2016, that is more than in any other African country. Angola and Kenya also show an interesting number of 3.000 to 8.000 rooms planned in 2016.
Thus, africon sees interesting potentials in the construction and interior furnishing sector. German companies can profit from the African construction boom as much in providing services as in selling sanitary equipment, furniture and floor covering.
