WTM Africa will be the leading B2B exhibition for Africa’s leisure travel industry, bringing the world to Africa and promoting Africa to the world’s leading source markets.
The Association of National Tourism Office Representatives (ANTOR) met with a representative from Reed Travel Exhibitions (RTE) on Friday, 11th October, to discuss the inaugural World Travel Market Africa (WTM Africa), taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on 2nd and 3rd May 2014.
WTM Africa will be the leading B2B exhibition for Africa’s leisure travel industry, bringing the world to Africa and promoting Africa to the world’s leading source markets. WTM Africa will attract exhibitors from all categories of the leisure travel industry within sub-Sahara Africa as well as North African destinations, aligning itself with sister events; WTM, WTM Latin America, Arabian Travel Market and International French Travel Market Top Resa.
“We are delighted to work in partnership with ANTOR members here in South Africa as an extension of the successful relationship ANTOR continue to enjoy with our sister event WTM in London”, commented Polly Magraw, Exhibition Manager WTM Africa.
“ANTOR members were very keen to get all the information possible on this new outbound show which will target not only South Africa and Africa but the rest of the world. WTM Africa will benefit from the Reed knowledge, expertise and standing. It was ideal to meet with Polly from Reed Travel Exhibitions, to satisfy ourselves that our needs will be met and that we will have all the necessary tools to promote the show to potential exhibitors and principals in our respective countries. This outbound travel show will highlight the amazing growth of Africa in the tourism sector, whether inbound or outbound and we are looking forward to the exchanges that will take place”, commented Helene Bezuidenhoudt, President of ANTOR.
