Under Olusola's guidance, Transcorp Hotels Plc has made a remarkable recovery, with occupancy rates soaring and the share price growing by over 600% in 2023. Her innovative approach has also led to the expansion of the company's offerings, with the flagship Transcorp Hilton Abuja introducing leisure activities and winning over 40 awards since her tenure began.
Olusola's commitment to excellence and her ability to inspire her team have earned her several personal awards, including CEO of the Year. Her dedication to the hospitality industry is evident in her efforts to continually push boundaries and deliver outstanding experiences for guests.
The AHIF award recognizes Olusola's outstanding contributions to the African hospitality industry, and she will receive the honor alongside Alain Sebah, President of Golden Tulip Afrique Francophone & East Africa (GTAF), who will receive the Outstanding Contribution Award.
Matthew Weihs, Founder of AHIF, praised both recipients, saying, "It will be an enormous pleasure to see two exceptionally impressive individuals receiving African hospitality industry ‘Oscars’ at AHIF... Dupe's record is outstanding... One has to admire her ability to inspire people and the innovative way she fought to retain guests when other hoteliers would simply have said they were fully booked."
The AHIF event, taking place from June 25-27, 2024, at the Mövenpick Hotel in Windhoek, Namibia, is the premier gathering of hospitality executives in Africa, driving investment in tourism projects, infrastructure, and hotel development across the continent.
