What makes selling to hospitality & tourism institutions difficult?

Kenyan SMEs face specific hurdles when targeting hospitality & tourism buyers. Fanel was built to solve them.

Seasonal demand peaks during July to October safari season, meaning procurement budgets and decisions cluster in specific months.

Hotel procurement runs through central purchasing departments with strict brand standards — generic pitches are rejected immediately.

Building relationships with general managers and F&B directors is key, as they hold the real purchasing authority beyond formal procurement.
