We invite you to join us for ATA’s 40th Annual World Congress in Nairobi, Kenya from November 9-14, 2015, where we will be hosted by the Kenya Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism and the Kenya Tourism Board.
During the congress as part of the program, ATA delegates will have the opportunity to enjoy exclusive offsite visits to:
