SA Tourism CEO, Thulani Nzima, is not at World Travel Market (WTM), which is taking place in London from November 3-9, because he did not have a valid visa for the United Kingdom.

Tourism Update confirmed with Nzima’s office that he was out of the country but not in London. “He is in a different part of Europe,” said a representative from SA Tourism’s head office, who confirmed there had been a visa issue.
In Nzima’s absence, SA Tourism is being represented by other members of the SA Tourism team, including members from the UK office.
