Focus on travel, trade and investment
Under the theme Africa Connects™, the forum will welcome African ministers, destination marketers, hospitality executives and investors from across the continent.
The programme will focus on increasing intra-African trade, improving travel connectivity and encouraging hospitality investment through Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
Participants will also explore strategies that strengthen regional tourism cooperation and support long-term economic growth.

The programme includes the Africa MICE and Grading Masterclass, business networking sessions, the Africa Tourism Leadership Awards and policy-focused deal rooms.
In addition, organisers said the forum will provide opportunities for established tourism businesses, investors and emerging entrepreneurs to develop partnerships and discuss future projects across Africa.
South African Airways and Kenya Airways will offer discounted airfares to registered delegates. Meanwhile, Meropa Casino and Entertainment World, Park Inn by Radisson and Garden Court will provide special accommodation rates for participants.
