OurAfrica.Travel wrapped up its fifth edition of the digital event last week with a bumper number of attendees meeting over the week-long programme.
The online platform facilitated networking and appointments between over 400 buyers and 200 exhibitors of African tourism products and services.
The organizers said, “The show was born during lockdown to support the industry through the toughest of times. It was designed to be both affordable and accessible to all and offers an invaluable opportunity for travel agents and tour operators around the world to connect with hotels, lodges, resorts and other suppliers based in Africa and her Indian Ocean islands.”
