The Association provides aligned advocacy, insightful research, and innovative events to its members.

Tourism wealth is an opportunity for countless communities in Africa and such an initiative can emerge and the building blocks of creating business for Africa can be paved.
Carol went on to say an example is World Travel Market Africa where 37 African countries are coming together to promote tourism. Millions of Dollars in business was generated with more than 1000 attending. She was confident this number will even increase in 2019.
