African Tourism Board – Where Africa Becomes One Tourism Destination
Last week, I published that I was happy to have been appointed on the Steering Committee of the “African Tourism Board” Association. This body is moving forward with the concept “Where Africa becomes one destination”. Major announcements will continue to be made in the coming weeks as the Global Tourism Industry moves in to work with Africa through the “African Tourism Board” body. The African Tourism Board is turning out to become the new African Tourism Focus for cooperatives and private-public partnerships in Africa and wherever there are friends of African Tourism. The African Tourism Board is about friendship, peace, education, investment, tourism, and development, but after all, it’s about business under professional leadership.
One positive Africa news last week was the new spirit of dialogue between Ethiopia and Eritrea. What a breakthrough for Brand Africa. Peace on the continent is the needed confidence for the tourism industry.
Kenya Airways On The Board Of IATA
Success for Africa is when we see the recognition for the continent beyond its own borders. The election of Sebastian Mikosz, the Group MD and CEO of Kenya Airways to the Board of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is testament to the progress by the Continent in re-writing its own narrative and pushing Brand Africa forward. The elections took place at the 74th Annual General Meeting of IATA in Sydney Australia.
Congratulations to Kenya, Kenya Airways and to Sebastian Mikosz
