It’s all systems go for Meetings Africa 2023 and exhibitors and buyers alike are counting down to the big day when they’ll have the opportunity to network and collaborate toward unlocking the continent’s success.
One of those is Johannesburg-based, Muco Guesthouse, which will be exhibiting its product for the first time at this gathering.
Muco Guesthouse Director, Alice Rubeya Quilliard, says she’s excited because Meetings Africa will present her with an opportunity to build the necessary relations and market her guesthouse.
“I would like to meet new clients - individuals, corporates and tourists - to build up a good database. I strongly believe that it will boost our business,” she says excitedly.
What can light up your face better than being greeted and welcomed in the language you know? Well, at Muco multilingualism comes as part of the package, starting with the guest house’s name. Muco is a Kinyarwanda word for light and Quilliard says her establishment wants to light up its guests’ stay in the same manner.
“Our staff speaks English, French, Swahili, Kirundi (Kinyarwanda), and Zulu,” she says.
Muco has got two guest houses situated on the same street and both offer the same service and same facilities. Its decor is a mixture of vintage and African classics using natural materials.
With the guest house being just 25 minutes away from O.R Tambo International Airport and 35 minutes away from Lanseria International Airport, it’s well situated for easier access to the business meeting venues of Johannesburg.
Muco Guest House offers business facilities, such as a small office to work from with an internet ADSL cable to backup wifi.
And Muco’s hopes for Meetings Africa? Quilliard explains:
“I would like to tell the buyers that we are here to stay, we are one of the best guest houses in terms of service, amenities offered, position, security, affordability etc. South Africa is still one of the best countries to visit, South Africa has got lots to offer”.
