According to the organizer of the high staked event, Africa Tourism Leadership Forum (ATLF), is a Pan-African dialogue platform that brings together key stakeholders from Africa’s travel, tourism, hospitality, and aviation sectors. It aims to provide a continental platform for dialogue, networking, sharing insights, and devising strategies for sustainable travel and tourism development across the continent. It also focuses on the enhancement of Africa’s brand equity and promoting intra-Africa travel. The African Leadership dialogue platform designed and convened by Africans in Africa to promote tourism as a priority sector and significant economic development pillar in African states.
The event hopes to build on the success of previous ATLF events that were held in Accra, Ghana in 2018, and Durban, South Africa in 2019.
Recall that the event is the only Forum of its kind in Africa that highlights tourism as a major economic pillar to diversify African economies. The Forum is convened by Africa Tourism Partners and BDO South Africa.
