14-16 June 2023
Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill, Kenya

With over 50% of all international tourists arriving at their destination by air, the individuals making these decisions on behalf of the airline are arguably a destination’s most important group of stakeholders, but often the relationship is handled by the airport company alone.

As a tourism authority, you can actively influence their decision making and support your airport company by joining AviaDev Africa, the leading platform dedicated to increasing air connectivity to, from, and within the African continent in Nairobi this June.
