Hilton Hotels brings brand to Ghana
Inc. Magazine alerts us to an announcement by Hilton Hotels that it will open its first property in Ghana in early 2010. Named The Hilton Accra Airport City, the 186-room property will be located in Airport City, a new mixed-use development in the heart of ‘upscale’ Accra. This makes Hilton Hotels one of the first upscale international brands to operate in the capital city of Accra. Owned by Grand Real Estates and Company Limited and managed by Hilton Hotels Corporation, the new property will become Hilton’s ninth property in Africa joining hotels in Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Cameroon and South Africa. Additional Hilton properties are under development in Africa in Equatorial Guinea (Malabo) and Uganda (Kampala).
Inc. Magazine’s Mike Hofman adds “Our latest survey of Inc. 500 companies, to be published in September, shows that America’s fastest-growing firms are currently doing business in at least 12 African countries, led by cosmopolitan South Africa but including such once-hard-luck cases as Uganda, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.”
"This gives us a tremendous opportunity to establish our brand in an African country that is experiencing strong growth. Accra itself is a key commercial and tourism hub for the country, with a real and growing requirement for upscale hotels. Expansion in Africa is key to our development strategy, - Jean-Paul Herzog, President, Hilton Hotels, Middle East & Africa."

My Holiday
- I'm taking a trip to India for 3.5wks. haven't seen my grandma in 15years and there's also going to be a wedding. Can't wait.
Oh and I'll be spending New Years in Goa... Anyone been there? That's the place my grandparents are from but I've never visited as they moved to Mumbai a while ago.
Does anyone have recommendations of Hotels they've been to?
Will be checking out TripAdvisor...
Re: what brings tears to Your eyes ????
- It is the bad news which brings tears. Someone dies and we remember about our experience with them. What about 9/11? The worst disaster the world ever seen. It not only brings tears and I totally lost my breath.
It's a certain emotions, which activates when you think something bad, especially someone dies in our family / colleagues.
Thanks

Re: Business attire
- [quote="Sprezzatura Custom":3k75jxln]quality of construction/materials #2, and brand recognition/cachet of owning it #3.[/quote:3k75jxln]
I wanted to add:
1.) How do you know how good the quality is until you've owned the item and tried washing and wearing it out? For example, I don't really know anyone who owns a $200 dress shirt from Harry Rosen, etc.
2.) If you're wearing a solid colored dress shirt, who would even know what brand it is? Sure the shirt would look nicer than something you can pick up from Costco, but it's not like 99.99% of people would be able to distinguish one top brand from another unless they pulled on your collar to see the branded tag.
