Heading into its fourth edition, the event continues to take African travel by storm and with its continuing momentum, having already confirmed 180 exhibitors out of the capped 270 available spots, there is already a growing waiting list for specific sectors and destinations.

Revealing his expectations for the upcoming show, event director Ryan Wallace states, “Over three editions, we’re seeing We Are Africa become the primary trade event for high-end travel suppliers across Africa and the Indian Ocean. The drivers behind this are the opportunities for positioning in the market, engaging with the top trade players and of course opportunities to meet all the new buyers and press we host every year. We’re excited about 2017 and bringing in some fresh faces, new collaborations and format tweaks into the mix.

In 2017 the event anticipates a total of 290 top global buyers and leading international travel editors from the likes of Condé Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, the BBC and Vanity Fair - a carefully curated selection of delegates who underpin the reputation of the show.

We Are Africa 2017 is set to take place between 1 -4 May.
