Boma reports 166-fold revenue growth as college marks 10 years in hospitality training

The Boma International Hospitality College (BIHC), has reported a 166-fold increase in revenue as it marks 10 years in the hospitality and culinary arts training business.

The college, founded in 2015 with an initial Ksh.17.8 million ($137,996) revenue, says it has surpassed Ksh.3 billion ($23 million) in total revenue by 2024.

Boma said over the last decade, it has trained over 6,000 graduates and upskilled more than 2,400 industry professionals.

“Our first decade has laid a strong foundation, and we are just getting started,” said Mike Macharia, Chair of the BIHC Board and CEO of the Kenya Association of Hotelkeepers and Caterers.

BIHC has partnered with the Business and Hotel Management School (BHMS) in Lucerne, Switzerland, which enables students to earn Swiss-accredited dual qualifications and access internship and job opportunities in 47 countries across five continents.

The college was recently named Best Hospitality School in Kenya at the 2024 Tourism Excellence Awards and ranked among Africa’s Top 50 Most Influential Food and Beverage Brands by Cookery Zone.
