The Africa Tourism Investment Conference (ATIC), a central event of World Travel Market (WTM) Africa 2025, will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on April 10. Hosted in partnership with JLL, the conference aims to drive tourism investment and promote sustainable economic growth across Africa.

ATIC will gather government officials, private-sector leaders, development finance institutions and international investors for a day of networking and industry discussions. Key topics will include economic and tourism trends, destination development and investment success stories from operators and project owners.

The conference will also provide private meeting spaces, panel discussions with high-level stakeholders and insights from JLL’s global and African tourism experts. Networking opportunities and access to the WTM Africa exhibition floor will further facilitate connections among industry professionals.

“This year’s programme places strong emphasis on sustainable tourism development and community benefits,” said Olivia Gradidge, Marketing Manager for WTM Africa and International Luxury Travel Market Africa. “We’re creating an environment for real partnerships and investment deals that can positively impact local communities.”

Wayne Godwin, CEO of JLL Africa, added: “Our collaboration with WTM Africa aims to link tourism and real estate investment, showcasing tourism’s potential as a catalyst for broader property development across the continent.”
