WTM Africa to Host Key Africa Tourism Investment Conference (ATIC)
The Africa Tourism Investment Conference (ATIC), one of the continent’s leading gatherings for tourism investment, returns to Cape Town on 14 April 2026 as an integral part of World Travel Market (WTM) Africa. Held on the Global Stage at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), the conference is produced in partnership with global real estate and investment leader JLL Africa and will once again be spearheaded by respected industry strategist and Conference Director, Gillian Saunders.
ATIC 2026 offers a dynamic, full-day programme full of actionable insight designed to catalyse sustainable tourism investment and cross-sector collaboration across Africa. With a strong emphasis on meaningful engagement and real-world opportunities, ATIC delivers essential knowledge sharing, impactful networking, and direct access to finance and investment leaders shaping the future of tourism.
“Investment is the lifeblood of transformational tourism,” said Saunders. “ATIC goes beyond traditional conferencing – we’re connecting key role players, including governments, banks, DFIs, developers, and private capital, across the tourism value chain – all aligned around one goal: unlocking the power of Africa’s tourism sector.”
