Gaborone – Sub-Saharan Africa’s bourgeoning country of Botswana today welcomed its first Hilton property with the official opening of Hilton Garden Inn Gaborone.
The property is Hilton’s first in the country and joins 43 existing Hilton properties in Africa, including three by Hilton Garden Inn, Hilton’s award-winning mid-scale brand, as the hospitality leader continues to expand its presence across the continent.
The Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) and the Botswana Credit Insurance and Guarantee Company Botswana (BECI) have consummated a partnership agreement to establish a long lasting relationship for mutual co-operation in export credit insurance, exchange of information and knowledge between the two institutions.
A whirlwind tour of LEA assisted businesses started in Mmopane, a small village bordering Gaborone where Ishmael Giye, the sole proprietor of Real Gumtree shared his entrepreneurial journey which started after he lost his job and was forced to start in his backyard given his minuscule resources.
