Dear ATCNews Readers,
And so, the 2023 edition of World Travel Market comes to a close – three days of business meetings, world-class speaker sessions, and catching up with industry friends and colleagues.
If you missed it, stay tuned on our Africa Travel Week Connect platform for some of the highlights from our speaker programme, featuring a distinguished line-up of industry experts delving into sustainable tourism, emerging travel trends, and innovation in the travel sector.
You can stay up to date on industry trends, insights, and movers and shakers which we’ll be featuring throughout the year.
Beyond the buzz on the show floor, our bolt-on events, including the Responsible Tourism Awards/Conference and Sustainability Village, were a standout feature of the event, offering a space where industry players could share ideas and experiences on responsible tourism practices, highlighting the growing commitment to sustainability in Africa’s tourism industry.
World Travel Market Africa is the success it is thanks, in part, to strong partnerships, and our partnership with IGLTA Foundation for EQUAL Africa delivered impactful discussions on LGBTQ+ travel and inclusivity in the industry. We are committed to continuing this conversation throughout the year.
Our partnership with the International Tourism & Investment Conference brought to light several tourism investment opportunities in Africa and the potential growth in the sector during several high-profile sessions at our African Tourism Investment Summit.
Keep an eye on our social channels for the winners’ announcements for WTM Awards, Responsible Tourism, and Stand Awards.
It’s not too early to pencil next year’s dates into your diary. We’ll see you back in the City of Cape Town from 10th-12th April 2024. Until then, happy selling and happy travels!
