Tourism Connect Africa’s Perspective
Tourism and aviation are closely connected. A destination may have remarkable attractions, accommodation and cultural experiences, but those opportunities mean little if visitors cannot reach the destination conveniently.
Tourism Connect Africa sees stronger regional connectivity as an important part of Africa’s tourism development. We welcome initiatives that encourage collaboration between aviation and tourism stakeholders and create better opportunities for destinations, businesses and travellers across the continent.
