Hotels and lodging and meeting facilities

The market for hotels and lodging is a significant one, with the government spending about R240 million on these services. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's a mature market with established players. With 198 suppliers already catering to 36 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, so you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. It's worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards black-owned businesses, with about 66% of the allocation going to these organisations, as well as women-owned businesses, which receive about 36% of the allocation. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with government departments and highlighting your business's unique value proposition to gain a foothold in this market.
