About FHS Africa

For over a decade, what began as the Africa Hospitality Investment Forum has grown into the premier catalyst for transforming the continent's hospitality landscape - connecting global investors, government leaders, and developers to unlock Africa's vast potential. In 2025, that mission took on new scale when we evolved into the Future Hospitality Summit Africa (FHS Africa), joining the global FHS portfolio alongside FHS Saudi Arabia, FHS Egypt, and FHS World in Dubai, amplifying Africa's voice on the world stage.

This year, FHS Africa makes its debut in Uganda, marking the first time the summit has been held in this extraordinary country. We are proud to be doing so with the full support of the Uganda Tourism Board, whose partnership reflects the national ambition to position Uganda as a leading destination for hospitality investment on the continent.

Uganda is a market brimming with opportunity - a young, fast-growing population, a booming tourism sector anchored by world-class wildlife and natural beauty, and a government increasingly focused on attracting the international capital and expertise needed to build world-class hospitality infrastructure. FHS Africa 2027 will be the platform where that opportunity meets the people who can make it real.
