Sultan Palace Beach resort is set to open its door to customers late this year adding to a number of similar projects targeting booming tourism business at the Kenyan coast.
Last year, the project's General Manager, Liu Tiancai was quoted by All Africa.com as saying, "The decline in tourism numbers is only a short term occurrence. We have invested at the Coast because we believe that the country still has the potential to return to its glorious days sooner than many think." as seen here from the launch of the project
This was around the same time Kenya's tourism sector, especially at the Coast, was experiencing a slowdown.
Sultan Palace Beach Retreat is constructed on 43 acres of beach property in South Coast's Kilifi County in the small, serene town of Kikambala. The units, 210 in total on phase one, vary from Sh11 million to Sh80 million thanks to the mixed residential development of apartment blocks and stand-alone mansion units.
To demonstrate the construction's company, China Jiangxi Limited, the development company of Sultan Palace Beach Retreat, constructed 4 classrooms worth Ksh4million for a local school in Kikambala, in less than 3 weeks.
"In similar circumstances, it would have taken a longer amount of time. The problem with most upcoming projects is the inability to deliver on time. This demonstration through our Corporate Social Responsibility is not only assure our clients of our speed but to take responsibility for the local community which has been of great support to the project and are employed through it," said Liu Tiancai, General Manager of Sultan Palace Beach Retreat during the unveiling of the classrooms.
He added: "The community in Kilifi County will continue to benefit from more CSR projects and business activities within the Sultan Palace Beach Retreat development as we edge closer to completing phase one of the project."
The resort joins bigger projects in Coast such as the recently launched English Point Marina.
