Entries are still open until June 30 for ‘Reigniting Africa’, a new award category in the inaugural WTM Africa Travel & Tourism Awards to acknowledge the most impactful, story-driven COVID-19 campaign.

“We are looking for a campaign that uses an authentic and creative narrative giving the audience a taste of the destination’s culture, natural beauty, history, and vibrancy. It must tell the many positive stories about Africa, enticing visitors back to the continent,” says Megan Oberholzer, Portfolio Director: Travel, Tourism and Creative Industries at Reed Exhibitions.

“We are looking for a campaign that uses an authentic and creative narrative giving the audience a taste of the destination’s culture, natural beauty, history, and vibrancy.”
