By GlobalDataMarriot International is looking to bolster its growth across Middle East and Africa region.
It plans to expand its presence to 27 African countries with over 200 hotels by the year 2025.
Marriott International president and CEO Alex Kyriakidis said: “Africa is particularly important to Marriott International's expansion strategy because of the continent's rapid economic growth, expanding middle class and youth population, as well as the increase of international flights into the continent.
“With over 850 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone, there are enormous opportunities.”
Amdec Group CEO James Wilson said: “Marriott's new hotels will become landmarks in South Africa and appeal to travellers from all over the country, the continent and the world. We are proud to develop world-class properties in both Cape Town and in Johannesburg.”
It is expected that during the construction phase approximately 8,000 jobs would be created.
After the completion, the hotels would employ more than 700 people.
