ATA World Congress

ATA’s Annual World Congresses bring together travel, tourism, transport and hospitality experts and professionals from around the world to explore Destination Africa. The four-day event addresses a myriad of topics, such as tourism growth markets, travel trends, airline access, investment opportunities, transportation and social networking tools. Delegates also participate in roundtables for tourism ministers, an Africa Bazaar for buyers and sellers, networking events, host country days, gala dinners and pre- and post- country tours.
