ATLF 2023 – Africa Connects in Namibia!

Africa Tourism Partners in collaboration with the UNWTO, BDO and the Government of the Republic of Botswana through the Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) would like to express our gratitude to all delegates, partners and sponsors for their participation, engagements and collaboration at the 5th edition of the Africa Tourism Leadership Forum (ATLF) and Awards.

ATLF 2022 held in Gaborone, Botswana was attended by over 650 physical delegates and over 1000 virtual delegates on Zoom and digital media platforms over the three days. Themed, “Igniting Intra-Africa tourism through inclusive intra-Africa trade, partnerships and Investments”, ATLF 2022 provided a myriad of learning and discussion platforms, across, tourism investment, MICE, Travel Tech, intra-Africa travel and Marketing.

Among the key outcomes of ATLF 2022 was the establishment of Pan-Africa Private Sector apex platform. 41 African Countries that were represented have confirmed their participation while the East Africa Tourism Platform (EATP), Rwanda and ICASA Secretariat, Ghana, have offered to serve as the secretariat for the proposed collaborative platform. The agreed mandate of this collaborative Africa Tourism Platform is to market Africa as a single destination, advocate for ease of connectivity and visa facilitation. Another key outcome was the commitment from several African countries to mainstream the role of MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events), digitalization, youth and women inclusivity.

In line with the above, we wish to thank you for attending the 5th Africa Tourism Leadership Forum and Awards 2022.

Your participation and contribution added value to all participants.
