Director of Engineering Kigali Marriott Hotel

Marriott International have selected to mark its entry into the Rwandan market by adding 5-Star hotel facility to the country's growing hospitality industry to be operated under the company signature brand Marriott Hotels and Resorts. The hotel is due to open its 254 rooms by November 2012. Rwanda is on its way to becoming a service, transportation and logistics hub for the Central African region; in the recent years, Rwanda has successfully established itself as an international conference destination and its tea, coffee, fruit and flowers industries have become highly-regarded exports. Its wealth of wildlife, flora and fauna and especially its gorilla population are giving rise to its well deserved eco-tourism industry." With Marriott coming to the country, there will be a lot of cooperation and positive influence on both business and community.
