🌍⚓ **What if Africa's greatest tourism opportunity isn't attracting more international visitors, but making it easier for Africans to explore their own continent?** Against the beautiful backdrop of New Orleans' waterfront, with boats passing by and the sounds of birds and water creating a peaceful atmosphere, **Poppy Ntshongwana** sits down with **Guy Stehlik, Founder and CEO of BON Hotels**, for a fascinating conversation about African tourism, hospitality, investment and the powerful connections between Africa and its global diaspora. Speaking at **TIFA 2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana**, Guy reflects on his first visit to the city, his passion for live music and food, and the surprising cultural and economic connections he has discovered between New Orleans, South Africa and the wider African continent. But beyond the beautiful scenery, the conversation reveals an important opportunity for Africa's hospitality industry. With **28 BON Hotels properties in Nigeria**, Guy shares how the company has built its presence in West Africa by focusing on something many hospitality businesses overlook: **quality, affordable accommodation for Africa's growing middle market**. Rather than concentrating exclusively on luxury hotels and international tourists, BON Hotels is working to make comfortable, reliable accommodation accessible to more Africans travelling for business, leisure and family visits. **In this conversation, we explore:** 🌍 **Africa, New Orleans and the Diaspora** - Guy Stehlik's first impressions of New Orleans - The surprising connections between African and African-American communities - Why the African diaspora represents an important investment opportunity - How Africans returning from abroad are bringing new skills, ideas and investment - Opportunities for collaboration between American investors and African businesses 🏨 **Building BON Hotels Across Africa** - The company's expansion into Nigeria and other African markets - Why Guy believes Africa needs more quality three- and four-star hotels - Creating affordable accommodation without compromising on standards - BON Hotels' approach to managing and improving existing hotel properties - Why reliability, affordability and efficient payment systems matter to travellers 💰 **The Business of African Tourism** - Why African countries should invest more in domestic tourism - Making it easier for Africans to travel within their own countries - How mid-market hotels can open travel opportunities to new customers - The importance of serving returning diaspora communities - Opportunities for investment and entrepreneurship in African hospitality 🇳🇬 **Lessons From Doing Business in Nigeria** - The calculated risks behind BON Hotels' expansion into West Africa - Why the company entered markets that other operators were hesitant to explore - Building businesses in challenging operating environments - The importance of resilience, adaptability and understanding African markets - Why Guy sees opportunity where others see obstacles 🎷 **Discovering the Real New Orleans** Away from the business conversation, Guy shares his recommendations for experiencing New Orleans beyond the usual tourist attractions. For lovers of authentic blues and jazz, his advice is simple: explore the smaller venues and side streets beyond the busy tourist areas of Bourbon Street, where some of the city's most memorable musical experiences can be found. **One of the most compelling ideas from this interview is that Africa's tourism industry should not depend entirely on visitors from abroad.** By developing reliable, affordable accommodation and encouraging more domestic travel, African hospitality businesses can help create new markets while supporting local economies. And as Guy explains, sometimes building a successful business on the continent requires the courage to enter challenging markets and recognise opportunities that others might overlook. 💬 **Should African countries focus more on encouraging their own citizens to travel domestically instead of concentrating so heavily on attracting international tourists?** 🎙️ **Interviewer:** Poppy Ntshongwana 👤 **Guest:** Guy Stehlik, Founder and CEO, BON Hotels 📍 **Location:** New Orleans, Louisiana, USA 🌍 **Event:** TIFA 2026 📻 **Programme:** The Upside | Channel Africa 🏨 **Focus:** African Tourism, Hospitality, Diaspora Investment and Entrepreneurship Subscribe to Channel Africa for more exclusive interviews from TIFA 2026, featuring African and international business leaders, innovators and changemakers building connections across continents. #TheUpside #TIFA2026 #AfricanTourism Lightbox link for post with description 🌍⚓ **What if Africa's greatest tourism...
