Serena Hotels has posted a loss of Sh168 million in the first half of 2018, a reduction of the Sh188 million it posted same period in 2017. 
Serena attributes the loss to lower than expected sales from the foreign leisure tourism arrivals in Kenya during the first quarter and the unexpected increase in energy and other operating costs.

Going forward, the management is optimistic about the second half of 2018 due to direct flights by Kenya Airways from Nairobi to New York from October, resumption of  Air France flights to Nairobi and granting of additional flight frequency of Ethiopian airlines to Mombasa from last month.
“Based on the feedback received from our supplier of Business in traditional and new international source markets, there is increased interest in selling destination East Africa. Current forecasts indicate satisfactory outlook during the second half of 2018 for Serena Kenya, Serena Tanzania and Serena Uganda,” Management said.

Sales went up marginally to Sh2.68 billion from Sh2.62 billion in 2017.

Rather disappointing. I understand that the Serena Nairobi is suffering but the hurt is real across the board.

Serena Hotel is gearing up for expansion into the populous Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

According to Managing Director, Mr Mahmud Janmohamed in an interview with The Standard, they have identified a hotel in the mining town of Goma where they will be assuming management roles later in the month of July, 2019.

''We are expanding our footprint into DRC. It is a management contract,'' the MD said.

Serena Kivu is just across the border in Rwanda. That area is very volatile but they should charge the mining companies premium rates to recover investment quickly.

Management contract. Why would one stay in Goma when (safer) Gisenyi is just a few miles away?
