Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana has been voted ‘Democratic Republic of Congo’s Leading Business Hotel 2017’ at the World Travel Awards (WTA), Africa Gala Ceremony held in Kigali on October 10.

The WTA recognised Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana among other leading names in hospitality for setting industry benchmarks in the DRC.

“This accolade recognises the commitment to excellence which demonstrates how far the hotel has come since its opening almost a year ago only” said Ursula Chidiac, general manager of Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana.  

"The DRC and equally the Governorate of Gombe are emerging as destinations of choice in the African continent, and we are proud to be a landmark in setting the tone of hospitality. The hotel has set the trend in service and creative culinary offering," she said.

With its 101 luxurious rooms and suites positioned as a fully serviced apartment concept, three distinctive culinary choices, a grand ballroom and state-of-the art meeting spaces along with a 300-sq-m gym and wellness centre, Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana offers stunning views of the Fleuve and the convenience of being in the heart of Gombe.   

The international event on the October 10 proved once again to be the continent’s most prestigious travel and tourism event of the year, and that brought together the leading figure-heads and VIPs from across Africa. Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as the "Travel industry's equivalent to the Oscars", the World Travel Awards are considered as one of the most comprehensive and prestigious events in the global travel industry today.  The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate the enormous achievements found in all sectors of the global travel industry. - TradeArabia News Service
