Yesterday I was privileged to receive the premiere issue of HOST Africa magazine from my good friend Ken (thanks). Went through it in the evening and thought a small review on it won’t hurt. The magazine focus is mainly on the hospitality and tourism industry and all its stories are skewed towards these. The magazine goes for Ksh.350 (≈US$.4.50) per copy.

The first issue cover story is on fibre optic and what it means for businesses in Africa, particularly Kenya with the landing of SEACOM at the Kenyan shore next month. The issue also features a story by Lee Simon, an award winning kitchen designer and the author of “The Restaurant Dream?” (a must read for food lovers) among other writers (both local and foreign).

Great topics such as hotel security, reinventing Kenyan tourism and brand changing in the hotel industry, have been discussed (even a review of my favorite traditional delicacies hotel – Amaica). For a start I think these guys at Mondeas ltd. have done a great work. I will be waiting for their follow up issues in the coming months.
