Khumalo Hotel and Conference Centre in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, is undergoing renovation, with an events centre accommodating 700 delegates to be added to the property.

Director, Josephat Kawema, said the centre aims to attract MICE business and enhance its portfolio to business tourists.

Construction of the new structure began in January and is set to be complete by the end of this month. “The main work left is tiling, glazing and putting up a ceiling at the state-of-the-art events centre, which will be one of the biggest in Bulawayo,” he said. The hotel currently has three conference rooms.

According to Kawema, the hotel is refurbishing existing rooms and is also looking to add an additional 30 rooms.
