"Every sector is booming," he said. He’s seen that growth firsthand as joint CEO of City Lodge East Africa, a chain of budget hotels catering to business travelers in South Africa, Kenya and Botswana.

Rooms used to go for $70 a night; these days, they go for nearly six times that amount. The purchase of the Fairview Hotel Nairobi was City Lodge’s first foray outside of South Africa and represented confidence in the economic growth in Kenya and the rest of east Africa. "The middle class has now started to come into its own, and that’s driving consumption in a big way," he said. "There’s demand now."
