Join us for the highly anticipated Spotlight Travel Expo, taking place at Sarova Panafric on July 17th and 18th, 2024. Renowned as Nairobi’s premier travel trade event, this year’s expo promises to elevate networking and business opportunities across the African tourism landscape.
Why Spotlight Nairobi?
Spotlight Travel Expo has consolidated its venue to Sarova Panafric, eliminating the hassle of navigating Nairobi’s bustling traffic and multiple hotel venues. This strategic decision enhances accessibility and ensures a seamless experience for exhibitors and attendees alike.
What to Expect
Expect a dynamic showcase with 35-40 exhibitors representing diverse corners of Africa. The Spotlight Travel Expo will illuminate all facets of travel: from outbound overseas adventures and regional African tourism to the vibrant domestic destinations within Kenya.
Key Market Insights
Kenya stands out as one of the leading outbound markets in sub-Saharan Africa, providing vast opportunities for travel and tourism. Nairobi, serving as a crucial gateway to East Africa, links over 135 million people within the COMESA market. The city is characterized by a notable affluent demographic, including a considerable number of US Dollar millionaires, which supports a thriving luxury travel sector. With Kenya Airways expanding its network and offering increased flight frequencies to major African destinations, accessibility and connectivity are significantly enhanced. Moreover, Nairobi’s status as Africa’s United Nations hub, alongside its multitude of diplomatic missions, amplifies the potential for lucrative business and leisure travel engagements at the expo.
Who Should Exhibit
The Spotlight Travel Expo welcomes a diverse array of participants including Kenyan, Zanzibar, and Indian Ocean resorts, African and East African hotels, safari lodges, Nairobi-based hotels interested in group and conference bookings, tourism boards, inbound destination management companies (DMCs), regional and international airlines, and other important stakeholders in the tourism industry.
Who Will Attend
Anticipate broad participation at the Spotlight Travel Expo from Kenyan corporate and leisure travel agents, outbound tour operators, regional travel planners, conference organizers, corporate travel managers, as well as government departments, NGOs, and UN agencies headquartered in Nairobi.
