About The Annual Africa Tourism Evening

The Annual Africa Tourism Evening is a curated evening held in central London for the UK travel trade selling Africa. Co-hosted by African properties, DMCs, luxury rail and other experiences, the evening brings together members of the trael trade from the UK's leading luxury, specialist and adventure tour operators in an intimate setting designed for genuine relationship-building. The format is deliberately the opposite of a trade show floor — no booths, no time pressure apart from optional pre-bookable catch ups. Just the right people in the right room raising a glass with each other. One of the the evening highlights in a prize-draw designed to reward the buyers who have championed African travel that year. Attendance is by invitation; verified UK trade buyers and African suppliers can request access via aate.events.
