The proposed programme for the event was presented by Durban Tourism Regional Marketing Manager Melusi Khumalo to the City’s Economic Development and Planning Committee for their recommendation.

During the presentation she highlighted that preparations are already in full swing for this flagship event. Africa’s Travel Indaba happens from 12 to 15 May at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre.

At the committee meeting which was held on 13 February, Khumalo noted that 2025 marks the City’s final contractual year hosting the Indaba, taking note of the importance of this event to secure future bids.

‘’We aim to pull out all the stops to host the best-ever Indaba to ensure Durban becomes the permanent home of this prestigious event,’’ said Khumalo.

The Africa Travel Indaba is a crucial platform for showcasing Africa’s tourism offerings and engaging with the global trade, while also boosting local tourism.

Khumalo also shared last year’s impressive statistics which included 1 200 exhibitors, 9 217 delegates, 1 737 buyers and participants from 75 countries.

Exhibitor registrations are now open for exhibitors who would like to showcase their products and network with those in the tourism industry.
