With the average hotel room in Luanda costing >$350 a night, and with little variety, TGI saw the opportunity to enter the hospitality business. In 2015, Thomson Art House opened its doors, a place focused on local art and delivering the best possible customer experience. THOMSON ART HOUSE has averaged 92% occupancy in its first 24 months of operations and was rated the #1 hotel in Angola by both TripAdvisor and Bookings.com in 2017.
7 Mobile was founded in 2011, when TGI realized that most of the major mobile phone distributors in Angola were moving to higher-end, more advanced and expensive phones.

We leveraged our experience and infrastructure in China, and launched the 7 MOBILE phone brand, focusing on the needs of the African market. To date, 7 MOBILE has been distributed in 5 different African markets.
