NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 29, 2010) - The International Real Estate Federation
(FIABCI) recently held a very successful trade mission to Africa to
highlight the opportunities currently available in the world's second
largest continent. Members of the FIABCI delegation were treated to nine
days of business and recreational activities in one of the most culturally
rich parts of the globe. According to Lisa Kurrass, FIABCI World President,
"The Mission to Africa was very successful on many levels because we gained
so much valuable information and had unprecedented opportunities to meet
with high level government officials that welcomed the active participation
of FIABCI and encouraged our participation in future real estate developed
in the continent."
The African Mission also included exciting tours of projects in Cape Town,
South Africa and Abuja, Nigeria. Both areas currently have a number of key
commercial and residential initiatives underway which proved inspiring to
FIABCI members. "There are many real estate ventures currently in process
within South Africa and Nigeria that we believe could be of great
importance to additional developers and investors who work closely with
FIABCI and recognize the significance of partnering with FIABCI as the
world's leading international real estate organization," said Osita Okoli,
FIABCI African President.
During FIABCI's visit to Abuja, the delegation heard presentations from
representatives of South Africa, Tanzania, Ghana, Egypt and Tunisia that
described real estate development and investor opportunities within their
markets. "Our African Mission was extremely successful in so many ways. Our
delegation was treated to wonderful expressions of the African culture and
we had numerous opportunities to network with international investors,
developers and other professionals that opened up countless possibilities
for our members," said Kurrass.
