WELCOME TO AFRICA

Fellow business events stakeholders,

It is with great pleasure that we present you with our latest edition of the Event Planner’s Guide to Africa. Designed as a resource for both the regional and international industry, EPG is a beautiful, easy-to-read book that offers an annual overview of meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions on the continent.

This year, we showcase countries that have great potential for growth in tourism, incentives and business events. We also bring you case studies from Malawi, Mauritius and Rwanda which drive home the point that Africa is open, ready and waiting to welcome you to experience something new and exciting.

The continent has overcome many obstacles in getting to where we are today. Not only have we increased international routes to Africa in the last 12 months, but we have also continued to push ahead despite economic challenges, water shortages, political instability and more. With this kind of resilience and persistence, there is no doubt in my mind that Africa can make 2020 a year of great moments for business events. Here’s to 20Plenty!

Yours in business,

Lance Gibbons
