<\/div>\n

Accor, a world-leading hospitality group, has signed a master development agreement with Mayan Properties, a subsidiary of Resources Investment, to further expansion across Sub-Saharan Africa. The partnership strengthens Accor\u2019s presence in Africa while underscoring the strong contribution of UAE-backed investment to Africa\u2019s tourism future.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, Accor in partnership with Mayan Properties will develop five hotels across Sub-Saharan Africa, adding over 1,100 keys to the Group\u2019s regional portfolio. The collaboration builds on the signing of Novotel Nouakchott in Mauritania, a 154-key new-build project, and M\u00f6venpick Moroni in Comoros, a 159-key conversion, with four additional projects to follow in key destinations.<\/p>\n

The agreement reinforces Accor\u2019s long-term strategy to accelerate growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Mayan\u2019s vision to strengthen Africa\u2019s tourism sector through sustainable investment. By combining Accor\u2019s global expertise and diverse brand portfolio with Mayan\u2019s investment leadership, the two groups are supporting both business and leisure demand while creating jobs and driving local economic development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis development agreement with Mayan Properties is a strong step forward in our commitment to grow across Sub-Saharan Africa. With Novotel Nouakchott and M\u00f6venpick Moroni signed, and three more hotels to follow, we are creating the foundation for a diversified portfolio that addresses real market needs and supports the long-term growth of Africa\u2019s tourism industry,\u201d said Maya Ziade, Chief Development Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & T\u00fcrkiye at Accor.<\/p>\n

Mohammed Al Dhaheri, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Resources Investment, and Chairman of Mayan Properties, commented \u201cAs a subsidiary of Resources Investment LTD, Mayan Properties is proud to extend its partnership with Accor through this development agreement. As a UAE-backed initiative, this agreement underscores the pivotal role the Emirates plays in driving sustainable investment and creating meaningful connections with Africa\u2019s fast-growing tourism economies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accor currently operates more than 175 properties across Africa, representing over +33,000 keys across 15 brands and 60+ properties in development. This agreement further cements the Group\u2019s position as a leading international operator in the region, with a focus on expanding its brands into fast-growing and emerging markets.<\/p>\n
