2017 has been designated the “International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development” by the United Nations. This designation is highly significant, not only for highlighting the importance of this sector, but also for promoting business and investment opportunities around tourism and intersecting sectors such as infrastructure, ICT, health, real estate development, capacity building and finance.
On the eve of the international year of tourism, the Africa Travel Association (ATA) – now a division of Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) – is proud to present the 41st Annual World Tourism Conference in Kigali, Rwanda. In collaboration with the Rwanda Development Board, this congress is designed to set the tone for how tourism can be utilized as an engine for economic growth and job creation through innovative business models, new technologies and strategic partnerships. The conference will also provide a platform to network and explore new tourism markets and products including the promotion and preservation of Africa’s rich cultural heritage and wildlife.
