Cresta Marakanelo provides hospitality to Botswana’s Paris 24 Olympics Team
Cresta Marakanelo Limited, Botswana’ leading hospitality group has announced a strategic partnership with Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) and the Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) as the official hospitality partner to Team Botswana in the wake of Botswana’s remarkable achievements at the just ended Paris 2024 Olympics.
The group’s Managing Director, Mokwena Morulane is excited that they will be a hospitality partner to the Team as they tour the country in the coming weeks. “Cresta Hotels is honoured to be the home away from home of Team Botswana as they arrived from their historic performance at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and we are excited to be part of this historic moment as the Hospitality Partner to the Team as they travel on a national tour across Botswana on dates soon to be announced,” stressed Morulane.
Furthermore, the partnership underscores the company’s ongoing “See Botswana Differently with Cresta Hotels” global campaign, which is reflective of Cresta’s vision of portraying Botswana’s diverse and vibrant culture. Through the partnership Cresta Hotels will provide hospitality logistics support for the athletes and coaches as they traverse the country to meet their supporters, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience for the country’s golden team.
“Cresta Hotels was best placed to deliver this experience as it is the largest hotel chain in Botswana by geographical location and number of rooms with 11 hotels across 8 destinations, a footprint that offers the best platform for Team Botswana to meet and celebrate with Batswana across the country,” said a statement. Cresta, which is listed on Botswana Stock Exchange, was formed in 1987 with an initial portfolio of less than 290 rooms and to date the group manages over 1000 rooms in Botswana.
