Africa’s most powerful tourism trade gathering, Africa’s Travel Indaba, kicks off on Monday, May 12, 2025, with the return of the dynamic BONDay (Business Opportunity Networking Day) – a one-day immersion into collaboration, insight, and opportunity across the continent’s tourism sector.
Hosted by South African Tourism, BONDay sets the tone for the week ahead with a programme that blends strategic dialogue, future-forward thinking, and impactful networking.
“BONDay is where Africa’s tourism thinkers meet its doers. It’s a place to connect, collaborate and co-create the future of tourism on our continent,” says Darryl Erasmus Chief Operations Officer at South African Tourism.
Why BONDay matters:
• Empowers tourism stakeholders with tools to navigate a recovering, competitive global market
• Drives inclusive sector growth through strategic partnerships
• Connects SMMEs and entrepreneurs to global insights and opportunity pipelines
• Champions African excellence and innovation through thought leadership
SMMEs are at the heart of BONDay. This day is about putting them on the map, and into the boardroom.
