In this issue, our featured article “From Townships to Tech Giants” sheds light on how South Africa’s innovation is paving the way for the future of hospitality and tourism across the continent.
We are also thrilled to present an exclusive interview with Frederic Van Lennep, the Business Development Director Africa for Hotel Partners Africa, where he shares valuable insights and perspectives on the industry.
In this journey of exploration and discovery, we are continuously inspired by the resilience and creativity that characterize the African tourism landscape. Beyond the headlines and statistics, it is the untold stories of local artisans, community leaders, and visionary entrepreneurs that truly shape the narrative of African ingenuity.
As we navigate through the pages of this edition, we invite you to immerse yourself in the narratives of change-makers who are rewriting the rules of the game, challenging conventions, and fostering a spirit of collaboration that transcends borders. The fusion of tradition and innovation, heritage and progress, is what gives the African tourism industry its unique vibrancy and allure.
