HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATION OF ZIMBABAWE ORGANIZES MEET THE BANKER SUMMIT 2026

The Hospitality Association of Zimbabwe (HAZ) has officially opened ticket registration for its highly anticipated Meet the Bankers Summit 2026. Scheduled to take place from 14 to 15 July 2026 at the iconic Harare International Conference Centre (HICC), this strategic event is set to bridge the critical gap between financial capital and the country’s expanding tourism sector.

As the industry experiences a significant era of renewal, operators are actively looking to modernize infrastructure, adopt sustainable green technologies, and scale their operations. Under the theme of unlocking real growth, the two-day summit serves as a dedicated platform connecting hoteliers, tour operators, restaurateurs, and regional tourism stakeholders directly with leading financial institutions, asset managers, and investment firms.

Unlocking Capital for Tourism Growth

The summit comes at a crucial juncture for local hospitality players who require robust financing solutions, tailored investment opportunities, and sustainable public-private partnerships. Attendees will engage in high-level panel discussions, exclusive B2B matchmaking sessions, and specialized workshops designed to demystify commercial lending criteria and highlight alternative funding structures.

The comprehensive agenda will focus heavily on infrastructure financing, with a particular emphasis on accessing credit lines for facility upgrades, property expansions, and remote eco-lodges. Furthermore, the panels will address crucial support for small and medium enterprises by analyzing structured financial products tailored for emerging tourism entrepreneurs.

A significant portion of the dialogue will also explore green funding, guiding operators toward international sustainability grants and climate financing for eco-friendly hospitality projects.

How to Secure Your Seat

With high demand expected from regional executives, property developers, and banking professionals across Southern Africa, HAZ urges early registration to ensure placement.

The registration process has been fully digitalized for maximum convenience. To secure a spot at the HICC this July, interested delegates are required to pre-register online. Upon submitting their information, attendees will receive a comprehensive follow-up email containing personalized ticket options, venue access instructions, and flexible payment methods.
