A heartfelt thank you to all our distinguished guests who made the Africa Tourism Awards 2025 such an unforgettable experience. From the glamour on the red carpet to the powerful stories of impact and innovation shared on stage, the evening truly reflected the spirit of “Celebrating Excellence, Inspiring Tomorrow.”

We were honoured by the presence of fashion icon Adebayo Jones, BBC broadcaster and arts champion Brenda Emmanus (OBE), and the representatives of the High Commissions of Mauritius, Rwanda, Ghana, and Tanzania amongst others, your participation added prestige and warmth to the night.

Our gratitude also goes to the tourism boards, airlines, hotels, associations, media partners, and industry leaders who joined us to celebrate Africa’s finest destinations and changemakers. Your support continues to drive the mission of positioning Africa as the world’s next great tourism frontier.
