Spotlight on Africa Workshops are a trademark and organised by Derek Houston - Houston Travel Marketing Services
Please note that these events are not related to Karibu-Kilifair.
Following the very successful Spotlight on Africa & Indian Ocean Virtual Expo in July, Houston Travel Marketing Services is pleased to announce the dates for the Next Virtual Expo to be held on 13 & 14 October.
45 Exhibitors participated at the July event with an attendance of 145 buyers from 29 countries.
The October date is ideal to target the outbound market from Africa to Indian Ocean islands and Overseas as the outbound market is set to re-bound with many airlines resuming services to Southern Africa and East Africa.
Hopefully Travel and quarantine restrictions from Europe and Americas will be eased by then allowing Inbound tourism into Africa to significantly improve.
Spotlight Virtual will be an ideal opportunity for African Products and DMC’s to re-connect with tour operators, wholesalers and luxury Travel agents who promote Africa.
We expect that up to 175 Travel trade from overseas and Africa will register to attend the two day Spotlight Virtual Travel Expo - 15 hours of meeting slots available each day to allow Asia Pacific & American Buyers to meet exhibitors at times convenient for them.
Since the July TravelExpo we have been working hard to increase our database of Overseas based Tour operators and travel agents. We have added an additional 300 companies and we now have 1050 currently listed from 51 countries. By October we plan to invite 1200 Overseas trade to register.
Spotlight Virtual will have a global audience of buyers
Houston Travel Marketing will invite overseas tour operators who sell Africa /Indian Ocean and also Tour operators and Travel agents from South Africa, East and West Africa who promote Inter-regional business and Leisure travel.
