VUMBA- United Kingdom based LonZim is happy with the progress of its US$ 1.8 million dollar refurbishment exercise at the Leopard Rock Hotel here.The company told The Zimbabwean last week that staff quarters, laundry and kitchen had been re-equipped to the highest standards while a new international standard staff training programme had also been implemented to ensure the best levels of quality service.
Room occupancies during January and February this year were very encouraging with both months increasing by 34 and 12 percent respectively from the previous year.
Refurbishment work at the hotel was being undertaken to bring the hotel back to its former glory.
Work included re-painting of the buildings, interior and exterior, entire refurbishment of all hotel rooms, new soft-furnishings throughout, new carpets and curtains in public areas and a general upgrade of corridors and public areas. New state-of-the-art entertainment and communications systems were also being installed.
The landmark Championship golf course at the Leopard Rock, hailed as one of the “Finest Golf Resorts” in the world by the PGA of Europe, continued to be maintained at the best of standards.
David Lenigas, Chairman of LonZim commented: The Leopard Rock is situated in one of the most beautiful natural locations in Africa. It was historically an iconic symbol of the Zimbabwean tourist industry attracting visitors from around the world to Zimbabwe. The Government has highlighted tourism as a leading economic driver in rebuilding Zimbabwe’s economy. We are delighted that the Leopard Rock is making such good progress in returning to its original quality as one of the foremost hotels in Africa.
