From Hamburg to Africa

It is very exciting to be able to witness and participate in an opening process of a hotel. Two employees from the Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg were able to make this experience. So they head off from the Hanseatic city in Northern Germany to Africa.

For about three weeks Sandra Tontsch, Banquet Service Manager, and Susanne Petrich, Restaurant Manager, have supported their colleagues at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre, Kigali during the opening phase and the Grand Opening on July 11, 2016. The competence duo from Hamburg was on hand with in-depth expertise in the field of event and restaurant management and prepared the local team for future tasks.

"It was a great experience for us. We had lots of fun, worked hard, met inspiring people and were able to discover this wonderful country and the warm and welcoming culture", said Susanne Petrich with a bright smile on her face.

"This unique development opportunity and the "Yes I can!" service philosophy from Radisson Blu are the strength of our expertise. We are very happy that we received this amazing chance", adds Sandra Tontsch.
