The countdown is on, and with just 45 days to go until Africa’s Travel Indaba 2025, solid plans are underway for what promises to be another successful show!
With BONDay kicking off on May 12 and show days running between May 13-15, the city of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal province will welcome delegates from all over the world to an unforgettable showcase of Africa’s rich tourism offerings.
South African Tourism is fully committed to delivering a world-class event that not only highlights Africa’s diverse travel experiences but also serves as a powerful platform for forging meaningful partnerships and driving business opportunities.
South African Tourism has established an industry-led Advisory Committee, reinforcing its commitment to partnership and collaboration and ensuring the seamless execution of this global travel trade event.
While there have been some early challenges in the planning, the team has doubled its efforts, working tirelessly to ensure that this year’s show not only meets but surpasses expectations.
Since registrations for Africa’s Travel Indaba opened in February, the response so far has been positive, with over 500 exhibitors from 19 African countries already registered and more than 650 hosted and non-hosted buyer applications received from across the globe. This impressive response sets the stage for an exceptional trade floor, brimming with opportunities to connect, collaborate, and celebrate Africa’s tourism story. Applications are still open for hosted and non-hosted buyers, with a special invite extended to domestic and regional buyers to apply.
South African Tourism is also pleased to announce that media applications for hosted and non-hosted media are officially open, inviting journalists, broadcasters, and content creators to cover this iconic trade show showcasing the best of Africa’s tourism landscape. Media can register at: www.indaba-southafrica.co.za/media/default.aspx.
In the year of South Africa’s G20 Presidency, South African Tourism is proud to showcase the country’s capability to host leading global events. Africa’s Travel Indaba is more than a trade show – it’s a celebration of our continent’s vibrancy, resilience, and unmatched travel experiences.
South African Tourism thanks all partners and stakeholders for being part of this journey, and looks forward to welcoming all delegates to Durban, KwaZulu-Natal in May!
