Hi all from Zimbabwe - New Airbnb’er
Hi everyone. Looking forward to learning and growing together. Joining from usually sunny but currently rainy Zimbabwe. Check out our first Air BnB in Harare if you’re ever in these parts: https://www.airbnb.com/l/qRXMphuG

@Marvin Greiffenberg, thanks for your tip on adjusting pricing. I got a week’s booking for next month almost immediately after that.

Question- Business intelligence on tourist destinations
@Weyni Tesfai and @Marvin Greiffenberg is there any “business intelligence” available on up and coming tourist/ visitor destinations to watch in Africa? It might help those looking to make a decision on where to kick off. For those not familiar with doing business on the continent, you may want to check out the World Bank’s “Ease of Doing Business”…. and take it all with a pinch of salt. (https://archive.doingbusiness.org/en/rankings?region=sub-saharan-africa)

@Marvin Greiffenberg Thanks for the link to the tourist destinations! And you’re absolutely right about the “doing business” and other such reports. These can be very high-level and don’t go into the nitty-gritty. Although they may be useful in understanding the general landscape of a country and where some opportunities and pain points lie, nothing beats an on-the-ground assessment..

Launching in Harare, Zimbabwe as I now live here and have a spare cottage.My “why” is financial freedom and the chance to finally enjoy my continent after many years abroad. I’d love to hear from the community about ways to I) find the right guests II) keep my place fully booked, and iii) identify dodgy requests.

A few days late, but glad to see fellow enthusiasts in other areas of my interests I.e. agriculture. @Stephan Rollfinke I’d love to connect to hear more about your pan-African agricultural project. I’ll be between Kenya & Zimbabwe.

Airbnb in Accra
Hello everyone, Thank you very much to Marvin and Weyni for approving my membership. My name is Faneva and I'm from Madagascar. I am planning to set up an Airbnb in Accra, Ghana. I have a friend there who has been a host for eight years. I would like to learn more from the community here.
