With the UNWTO reporting growth in both inbound and outbound tourism and some African nations expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.7% - the highest of any world region - WTM Africa, which caters for both inbound and outbound markets, is set to be a vital platform for the African tourism industry. Bringing together worldwide buyers and sellers, all focused on the African tourism market, under one roof, WTM Africa is open to the widest range of travel professionals to register to attend.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Inbound and Outbound Retail Travel Agents, both leisure and corporate
  • MICE professionals
  • Wholesale travel advisors
  • Wholesale product buyers

    Exhibition Manager, Polly Magraw comments: "It is important to us that WTM Africa provides a key industry platform that offers all travel industry professionals the chance to engage in real value business conversations, meet new contacts, exchange ideas, share best practice and learn and network in a fresh new environment."

    "The wide range of pan-African and international products and services that will be on display on the show floor, as well as our comprehensive event programme and range of networking events, mean that we can offer a high quality global event that will appeal to the broadest range of inbound, outbound and intra-regional travel professionals from retail leisure travel agents to corporate travel advisors. I would encourage anyone interested in attending WTM Africa to pre-register via wtmafrica.com ahead of the show to avoid the onsite registration fee," continues Polly.

    Designed to offer something for everyone, the insightful and topical event programme is open to all attending WTM Africa, offering the whole industry the ideal learning and networking platform.
