Hospitality Associates International

  • 2007

    First Step

    When we started our company, we did not know how far we would go or if we would even last a few years. We knew that we had the unique ability to offer a service that no one else was providing, and that belief in our innovation drove us forward.

  • 2008

    First Publication

    During this period, we achieved a significant milestone by launching the inaugural issue of Hotels Africa Magazine. This clearly signaled our unwavering commitment to the industry and our enduring presence, marking a new chapter in our journey.

  • 2010

    First Project

    By this time, we had established ourselves as a leading force within the industry. This reputation led to us being entrusted as Lead Consultants for a 4-star resort development in Southwestern Uganda. Under our expert guidance, the project included luxury cottages, conference facilities, a wellness center, and a museum.

  • 2011

    First Partnership

    We are honored to have been appointed exclusive representatives of the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute in East Africa. In this role, we are entrusted with distributing their educational resources and, importantly, promoting their distance and online learning programs. This responsibility underscores the trust the institute has placed in us.

  • 2019

    First Subsidiary

    As we integrated new technology into our service delivery, supporting our clients in their journey toward growth and innovation became essential. This inspired the creation of Sarabi Tech LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAI, dedicated to providing affordable cloud-based solutions that empower African tourism businesses to automate and streamline their operations.

  • 2024

    First Representation

    Our company has grown and expanded vastly over the past 15+ years. This growth has attracted partners whose aspirations and ambitions mirror our own. This alignment has led to the partnership with CCA International Ltd. Appointed as the representative for CCA International Ltd in Africa, we are confident in our shared vision and look forward to overseeing the expansion of their three brands into the African market.
