Brain Box at WTM Africa 2024
Gradidge emphasises the novel Brain Box initiative, designed to foster productive, participant-focused debates.
“This year’s theme, ‘Step Inside,’ invites attendees to immerse themselves in each Brain Box session. These engaging discussions aim to unite industry stakeholders at various levels to collaboratively address common hurdles,” she explains.
WTM Africa is placing a spotlight on sustainability, with chosen official partners integrated into the programme, including Fair Trade Tourism hosting a hands-on Brain Box workshop on achieving global market presence for responsible destinations and projects.
“With our comprehensive three-day programme, there’s something for all. However, to fully benefit, registration is essential. Join us to gain invaluable insights, network, and empower yourself to propel your business to new heights,” concludes Gradidge.
