Nigeria as a key hospitality market in West Africa

Nigeria is one of the largest consumer markets on the continent, while its hospitality sector continues to develop alongside urbanisation, growth of the middle class, tourism investment and the expansion of international hotel brands.

For suppliers, this creates increasing demand for equipment, technologies, management systems and services for hotels, restaurants, catering and foodservice operations.

Mega Horeca Nigeria is designed to provide direct access to hotel owners, procurement managers, restaurant operators, architects, investors, catering companies and distributors actively developing projects across the region.

A platform for international business

The organiser emphasises that the purpose of the event goes beyond product presentation, with a strong focus on generating business opportunities and developing commercial relationships.

Elan Expo notes that over successive editions Mega Horeca Nigeria has evolved from a traditional trade fair into a business platform connecting international manufacturers with buyers and partners across West Africa.

The commercial value of this format has also been highlighted by exhibitors. One technology company reported signing a new agreement for hotel software following live demonstrations during a previous edition of the show.

Mega Horeca Nigeria 2027 will take place from 2 to 4 February 2027 at the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Opening hours: 10:00–17:00.

The event is aimed at representatives of hotels, restaurants, cafés, catering companies, distributors, investors, designers, technology suppliers and companies interested in expanding their presence in the West African market.
