Zanzibar to build first seven-star hotel in East Africa

Zanzibar hopes to raise the bar for African hospitality by constructing a seven-star hotel.

According to a Tanzanian publication, The Citizen, this is also part of its aim to strengthen tourism, its core sector. The hotel will be constructed on a tiny island.

The Montuli would be the name of the ambitious seven-star deluxe hotel, which would be located on the picturesque island of Pemba. It is slated to be the first in East Africa.

Zanzibar’s journey towards seven-star hotel is being driven by President Hussein Mwinyi’s innovative leadership.

Hussein Muzamir’s $8 million commitment demonstrates his belief in Zanzibar’s tourism industry.

Zanzibar’s ambition to build a seven-star hotel was revealed by Sharif Ali Sharif, the executive director of Zanzibar Investment Authority. He made the announcement at the ceremony of a different resort in North Unguja on Saturday, January 6th. READ MORE
