Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine influence of public private partnerships on performance of projects in the hospitality industry in Kenya.
Methodology: This research study adopted a descriptive research design approach. The study preferred this method because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. The target population was the 215 classified establishments in the hospitality industry spread over different locations in Kenya. The Hotels and Restaurants Authority (HRA) under the Ministry of Tourism is charged with the responsibility of classification. This classification brings about categories such as 5 star, 4 star, 3 star, 2 star and 1 star approved with continuous control on the quality of services offered. Structured and semi structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Data gathered from the questionnaires administered was analyzed by the help of Ms Excel and SPSS version 22, while output was presented inform of frequency tables and charts. The study used both descriptive and inferential statistics to show the relationship between variables.
Results and conclusion:The coefficient of determination also called the R2 was 0.634. R2 value of 0.634 means that 63.4% of the corresponding variation in performance of projects in the hospitality industry can be explained or predicted by (government protocol, proof of concept, value for money and vulnerability management) which indicated that the model fitted the study data. The results of regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between dependent variable and independent variable at (β = 0.634), p=0.000 <0.05).
The findings of the study indicated that government protocol, proof of concept, value for money and vulnerability management have a positive relationship with performance of projects in the hospitality industry in Kenya.
Policy recommendation: Finally, the study recommended that institutions should embrace public private partnerships so as to improve performance of projects in the hospitality industry and further researches should to be carried out in other institutions to find out if the same results can be obtained.
