The Lux Collective and ZK Venture Company, located in Zanzibar, signed a hotel management agreement. The companies will open the region’s first LUX resort.
The group’s entry into the new Tanzanian destination of Zanzibar is a strategic move. They aim to strengthen the company’s position in the East African economy. The hotel opened as LUX Marijani Zanzibar on July 1, 2023, boasting a private, pristine beach with views of the Indian Ocean.
“We are privileged and excited to partner with the ZK Venture Company in Zanzibar to operate this five-star boutique beach resort, raising its luxury quotient and service to another level,” said Paul Jones, Chief Executive Officer of The Lux Collective. “This marks the start of our meaningful partnership in the region of East Africa where the tourism potential is limitless. We are confident that the partnership will elevate our flagship luxury brand LUX, as we continue to expand our footprint globally.”
