EA Hospitality Sentiment Index

Quarterly operator survey · Kenya · Uganda · Tanzania · Zanzibar · Rwanda

Six questions. Two minutes. Completely anonymous.

We publish the aggregate results free to everyone who takes part — occupancy direction, rate movement, booking pace and the issues operators are actually worried about. No individual property is ever identified or its data published separately.

Why this matters: there is no independent sentiment measure for East African hospitality. STR is priced out of reach for most operators and covers only branded stock. If enough of us contribute, we create the benchmark the region has never had — and it belongs to the operators who built it.
