Following our highly successful SPOTLIGHT VIRTUAL TRAVELEXPO’S in September, November and February, we are pleased to announce our next Spotlight Virtual on 28 & 29 July.

The July Spotlight Virtual will promote ALL African countries as well as the Indian Ocean islands: Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Mayotte, Madagascar, Comores & Reunion.

Spotlight on Africa & Indian Ocean Virtual TravelExpo is designed to create a real Exhibition experience with Pre-scheduled Appointments and B2B Zoom type meetings.

While nothing can beat a face-to-face Workshop – for the moment VIRTUAL has become the new normal and a very dynamic way to communicate with your Trade partners within Africa and overseas.

We have received some really positive comments from Exhibitors about their participation at our previous Spotlight Virtual Expos.

Spotlight on Africa & Indian Ocean Virtual TravelExpo will promote:

  • Inter-regional travel within Africa & Indian Ocean Islands
  • Domestic Travel within Africa & Indian Ocean Islands
  • Inbound Tourism into Africa & Indian Ocean from Overseas countries.

We expect 30 – 40 exhibitors to participate and 175 – 200 Trade Buyers to register from Africa and overseas countries.

We have decided to extend the workshop to two full days and also open the meeting slots from early morning to late evening to enable buyers from all time zones to attend at times convenient for them.
