For many African countries, tourism is not merely a leisure industry, it is a developmental instrument.” - President @CyrilRamaphosa at #ATI2026 This year’s Africa’s @SATravelTrade has already involved nearly 400 SMMEs, giving tourism entrepreneurs and businesses valuable market exposure, networking opportunities, and direct access to international buyers from over 71 countries. As #ShotLeft, we’re excited about what this growth means for our trade partners and the future of tourism in South Africa. #ATI2026 #UnlimitedAfrica #TravelWeek26
