The Australian travel industry has met with buyers from across Africa at the recent Africa Showcase event in Brisbane and Sydney, with the program wrapping up in Melbourne tonight.
Wholesalers and sellers met with a curated selection of African suppliers in Brisbane at Blackbird, Riverside Centre on Monday, 24 July in face-to-face appointments to strategize for the year ahead, before travel agents joined an evening event of networking and group presentations.
The event saw companies from Angola, Botswana, DRC, Egypt, Eswatini, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe all talk about African products and share their updates.
Two lucky travel agents in each city took home a prize for the best dressed on the night.
Africa Beat was at the event in Brisbane and caught up with all the latest news that will be shared over the coming week.
