In this episode, I am joined by our 3 partners to preview the inaugural AviaDev tourism and connectivity forum, a platform offering practical advice and showcasing best practices to inform and assist Africa's tourism authorities to shape their destination's connectivity.

Our partners are:

Natalia Rosa, Tourism Project Lead, SADC Tourism Business Council

Kojo Bentum-Williams, CEO, VoyagesAfriq

Tim Harris, Helm Growth Advisors

In the episode, we discuss:

Why the Cape Town Air Access initiative was created and the benefits it has brought to the Western Cape

Is there appetite from the SADC governments to support the development of aviation and tourism in the region and what lobbying efforts are currently taking place?

Why destinations are not already more involved in air service development

An overview of the sessions and what attendees will gain from attending.

If you are an airport listener, why not share the episode and encourage your tourism authority to join you for the event?
