Tourism Sector

One of the cardinal principles of the formation of the Consortium was to look at investments that would help the economy while significantly enhancing member resources within a relatively short horizon in an effort to ameliorate member losses on account of currency changes.

  • The country is endowed with great sites including; heritage/iconic sites such as the Victoria Falls, Rhodes Nyanga National Park, Zimbabwe ruins, Matopos, Chinhoyi caves and the Chilojo cliffs and barring another epidemic, the tourism sector is set for a boom.

  • Pension Funds under the Consortium provided seed capital to a private equity in 2011 which has evolved into Arden Enterprises Limited (AEL) is a Mauritian domiciled investment holding company.

  • AEL invests in assets that are tourism-facing and USD cash-generative. The substantial existing investment portfolio currently offers exposure to prominent Zimbabwe-based assets in hospitality through African Sun Limited which is listed on the VFX. The Consortium members collectively have a shareholding of 22.5% in Arden.
