Speaking about the Conference, Mr. Sunday explained that, ‘The Hotel Managers Conference was born out of the passion and drive to improve the performance of hotel Managers in Africa.”
Continuing, he said, “Every success a hotel achieves rests heavily on the brilliant strategies and effective administrative coordination by the managers. Today, like it has continued to be, there is a big gap between International Hospitality brands and Indigenous brands both in administrative and general operations standards.”
“The Hotel Managers Conference becomes more pertinent as hotels, the worst hit sector during the Covid-19 pandemic, struggle to rebound and cover lost grounds occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, as restrictions are gradually relaxed and the hospitality industry is eager to return,” he explained further.
