The results are not as strong as I would have liked but the improvements to Serena Nairobi are not complete. I expect better results for 2019 as more of Serena Nairobi becomes "usable" but the interest and depreciation on the improvements, will hit the results from 2019 onwards.
I will keep what I have but I need to wait and see. TPSEA needs to look at other locations within Nairobi and Mombasa/Coast to cater to different tastes.
Nairobi - Upper Hill, Karen, Westlands
Coast - CBD, Diani/Tiwi
Kisumu
A 3-star brand that offers business-friendly rates. It can use Serena's expertise. Or offer packages for MICE that allows the use of Serena's 5-star conference facilities with some staying at the 3-star residences.
