Rainbow Tourism Group Unveils US$5.2m Overhaul of Rainbow Towers and HICC

Rainbow Tourism Group (RTG) has completed a US$5.2 million refurbishment of Rainbow Towers Hotel and the Harare International Conference Centre, positioning the Zimbabwean hospitality group to compete for high-end international conferences, State visits and luxury travel markets. The upgrade forms part of RTG’s broader US$26 million capital investment over five years aimed at establishing Zimbabwe as a major destination for elite tourism and business events.
As part of the hotel revamp, three floors were converted to create six premium suites tailored for diplomatic and executive guests, while an additional 48 guest rooms were redesigned in a minimalist style. The HICC, Africa’s largest colosseum-style conference venue with a 4,500-seat capacity, received its first full-scale modernisation, including ergonomic seating, integrated technology, and acoustic enhancements — reinforcing its appeal for top-tier international gatherings.
