Tourism & Aviation Connectivity Forum

Wednesday 11 June 2025

Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport

Uniting stakeholders. Closing the loop

Tourism engagement is often the missing link in the route development process. Destinations that fail to fully integrate tourism with their aviation strategies risk losing airline routes — and once those routes are gone, it is difficult to bring them back.

This forum will provide practical, hands-on approaches for improving route development strategies across Sub-Saharan Africa by engaging key tourism stakeholders. Featuring insights from Tourism CEOs, airports, and airlines, this forum will explore how collaboration can unlock success in the aviation industry. The event will address the challenges of route development in Africa and highlight how tourism engagement can make all the difference in ensuring routes thrive.

Registration is included in your AviaDev ticket www.aviadev.com
