Over the last year, we’ve seen how resilient the travel industry is, and noteworthy events such as this one are key in imparting valuable insights that will allow our industry to thrive, even during such uncertain times.

“We’re excited to be a key partner of WTM Africa by flying in key industry speakers to address pertinent topics at this event. With LIFT being South Africa's newest and most flexible airline, WTM Africa is the perfect platform to showcase our exciting new product to the world.”

Megan Oberholzer, Portfolio Director: Travel, Tourism and Creative Industries at RX Africa, says she’s delighted to welcome Lift as WTM Africa’s Aviation Partner for 2022. “Africa Travel Week and LIFT share the same vision and optimism for the future of the travel and tourism industry in Africa. We want to bring people together to connect face-to-face and exchange ideas.

“We’re grateful to be able to offer delegates and exhibitors discounted fares for travel thanks to LIFT. We know the past two years have been tough on everyone in the tourism industry. It’s great to be able to offer some discounts so that as many people as possible can attend our live event.

“Delegates won’t be disappointed as WTM Africa will once again include all the highlights delegates have come to expect in previous events, including a robust speaker programme and associated events like International Business Market Africa, EQUAL Africa, Travel Forward, Sports and Events Tourism Exchange (SETE) and the Africa Tourism Investment Summit.”
