“We are delighted to be able to continue opening hotels, especially during these unprecedented times and within our key markets, such as South Africa. We are grateful to our hotel owners for trusting our brands and people, and our teams for their tireless dedication and passion,” said Tim Cordon, Senior Area Vice President, Middle East & Africa, Radisson Hotel Group.
