For lack of African summit, the inauguration is although linked to politics and foreign relation. For the president of the High authority of transition, this worldwide group’s building confirms the investor’s confidence. Andry Rajoelina promised a governmental help to their projects. The Ibis project costs 10 millions euros, financed by the Bank BNI Madagascar. It benefited from the tax removals wanted by president Ravalomanana during the organization of the Summit.  

The new authorities expect the Accord group to kick start tourism in the Great Isle. “I hope that the hotel operators are going to create modern infrastructures or update their inns “, declared Andry Rajoelina. “Let ibis be emulated, let other international groups settle in Antananarivo and through all other tourism centers “, he has wished.
