Three
Cities Group is delighted to be expanding
its reputed management and marketing
services into East Africa, with the recent
acquisition of the Zanzibar Beach Resort in
one of East Africa’s largest countries and
the Kunduchi Beach Hotel and Resort in Dar
es Salaam, Tanzania.
Three
Cities Group Managing Director, John
Creighton said that the quality of Three
Cities operational standards and services
are well known in Southern Africa. The
management and marketing ability of the
Group were the reasons why hotels in
Tanzania and Zanzibar chose the Three Cities
Group over other Hotel operators.
“We are
very excited to add both these hotels into
our portfolio and to be expanding our
footprint into East Africa. We intend to
expand further into Tanzania and further
across the region. This brings to date, four
other African countries outside of South
Africa that the Three Cities Group operates
in".
“We
understand the expectation of service and
quality that local and international
travellers expect from our establishments
within Southern Africa. The same applies for
the continent and it is only natural that we
extend our service credibility and the Three
Cities Group’s vision to be recognised as
Africa’s leading hospitality brand of
choice,” said Creighton
Creighton further explained that with the
recent appointment of three Goodwill
Ambassadors to promote tourism to Tanzania
in the United States, he was keen on the
Group taking pride and centre in its
offerings to international visitors.
“According to Tanzania’s Minister of Natural
Resources and Tourism, Honourable Ambassador
Khamis S. Kagasheki, MP, tourism is the
leading earner of Foreign Exchange in
Tanzania, and the United States is
Tanzania’s most significant tourist
generating market. As a Group, we intend on
aligning our services and properties to
accommodate this growing market in the land
of Kilimanjaro; Zanzibar and the Serengeti.
”

Resorts sit on the lap of the beautiful
Indian Ocean boasting flawless white sandy
beaches and waves breaking over coral reefs
and sand bars offshore - perfect for the
