With continued signing activity (20 hotels with about 5,250 rooms last year), Egypt now accounts for over 25% of the African hotel development pipeline. The next five places are taken by Algeria, 3,202 rooms, Kenya, 3,155 rooms, South Africa, 3,133 rooms Tunisia, 2,918 rooms, and Senegal 2,693 rooms. Looking at the development activity of the hotel chains, both Accor and Marriott are nearly as dominant as Egypt and Morocco, each representing just over 25% of the entire pipeline. Accor has 20,857 rooms in development, spread over 107 properties; Marriott has 20,248 rooms spread over 103 properties. Also worth of note, Accor has only 26% of its pipeline onsite, whereas Marriott and Hilton have around 57% and Radisson 85%.
