World Travel Market (WTM) Africa has received 200 applications from 35 countries for its hosted buyers programme. WTM Africa takes place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on May 2-3 as part of the newly formed Thebe Reed Exhibitions’ Africa Travel Week.
“I am delighted with the interest from the world’s leading buyers to be part of WTM Africa’s Hosted Buyer programme,” said WTM Africa Hosted Buyer Manager, Paulina Lund.
Registration for the hosted buyer programme opened last week and there are 300 places.
“For many years we have supported Reed Exhibitions and are disciples of the value-for-the-investment derived through the qualification process Reed Exhibitions puts into each event and the seller contingent drawn in,” said buyer, Allan Falck, Executive Director, Sundance Tours, Argentina. “With African and Indian Ocean destinations looming larger with our client base, WTM Africa is the one event we will support, delivering new customers and new business to those WTM exhibitors.”
