Eko Hotels to Host Africa Legacy Summit in 2026

Eko Hotels & Suites is set to host the Africa Legacy Summit on May 15-16, 2026, in Lagos, Nigeria, marking its 50th anniversary. The summit will gather ministers, policymakers, investors, corporate leaders, young professionals, and students from Africa and the Caribbean to discuss the continent's tourism potential.

Keynote speakers will include Ambassador Wallace William and Professor Patrick Lumumba. The summit aims to address Africa's modest share of global tourist arrivals and explore strategies for enhancing the hospitality sector.

It will focus on practical collaboration to attract international investment, strengthen hospitality standards, and build stronger connections between African destinations and the global travel network. The agenda will also highlight the need for coordinated efforts to overcome infrastructural gaps and visa regime challenges that hinder tourism growth.

Lagos, as a host city, is positioned to showcase its cultural dynamism and creative industries, contributing to a broader narrative of Africa's tourism potential.
