UK based Bench Events who are the organisers of the Africa Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF) said the switch of the venue from Nairobi to Addis Ababa has been due to capacity constraints. In a statement yesterday, the firm said the space available in Nairobi was inadequate to accommodate the huge number of people who had expressed interest in attending and exhibiting at the event.
The event was to take place at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi, but will now be held at the Sheraton Hotel, Addis Ababa in late September. The cancelation of the event in Nairobi comes amid security concerns that has resulted in large number of cancellations of booked and paid holidays as well as tourists already in the country cutting short their trips.
According to Wiehs, Nairobi falls short when it comes to conferencing and exhibition area. The event will play part in raising the profile of Ethiopia as a tourist destination. Read more at: hhttp://www.diretube.com/articles/read-ethiopia-snatches-key-tourism-event-from-kenya_5365.html#.U42vUHJdWSp
