Travel is getting smarter. And Africa is not sitting this one out.

From personalised itineraries and smarter bookings to predicting demand and creating more sustainable ways to travel, Artificial Intelligence is changing how we experience tourism.

Did you know? According to the Kenya Association of Travel Agents, travel businesses saw bookings jump by up to 25% after introducing AI conversational tools and chatbots!
Kenya isn’t just adopting AI we’re innovating and leading the way in sustainable, tech-driven travel across Africa.

This aligns directly with our core theme for this year: Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence: Shaping the Future of Tourism.

The future of travel is already here. The question is: are you ready for it? Are you ready to future-proof your tourism business?

To our travel trade buyers across Canada, the USA, Mexico, and Brazil: the demand for authentic, high-value African travel experiences is reaching unprecedented levels.

Your clients want their safari. Their moment. Their Africa.
Not the one in the brochure, the one that was tailored for them. The sunrise over the Mara that nobody else saw. The giraffe that ate from their child's hand. The camel trek through the northern frontier with a Samburu guide who has walked that land his whole life. The rooftop cocktail in Nairobi where a conversation changed the course of a business.

East Africa's biggest travel trade expo is calling buyers from the Americas and Europe to come source the product that makes all of this possible.
350+ exhibitors · 250+ vetted buyers · 10K+ meetings · 40+ fam trips
Flight, hotel and meetings covered under the Hosted Buyer Programme.
