What to expect
Held annually as part of Africa Travel Week, the three-day event brings international and pan-African industry professionals together under one roof. Pre-scheduled appointments and live networking opportunities facilitate business opportunities, while the show programme is packed with informative content sessions led by industry experts from around the globe, such as Professor Harold Goodwin (Professor Emeritus and Responsible Tourism Director at the Institute of Place Management at Manchester Metropolitan University), Naledi Khabo (CEO at Africa Tourism Association), LoAnn Halden (VP-Communications for the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association – IGLTA), and Kojo Bentum-Williams (Senior Expert on Communications in Africa at the UN World Tourism Organization – UNWTO).
De Jager adds, “As much as WTM Africa attracts those heavy-hitting high-profile brands, it also acts as a springboard for smaller tourism SMMEs. So, if you’re eager to bump elbows with the industry’s experts and get a foot in the door, this is your chance.”
