IMPORTANT NOTICE
01 September 2025 – Africa Travel Connect today announced with regret the cancellation of the inaugural Africa Travel Shows 2025, which was scheduled to take place at Novotel London West on 12-13 September 2025.
This decision, though difficult, was made after careful consideration of logistical challenges beyond its control that would have compromised its ability to deliver the event at the high standard expected by its stakeholders.
“Part of Africa Travel Connect’s role as an organisation is to give true credibility to African nations. It was very important that the execution of this event fairly represented a better, more progressive way of doing business. That is why the difficult decision has been made to stand down temporarily. The new date will be reconfirmed as soon as possible,” said Yared Bizuneh, Director General of Africa Travel Connect.
Africa Travel Connect remains fully committed to its core mission: to elevate Africa’s image globally by showcasing the continent’s rich tourism, culture, heritage, music, and business opportunities.
While this year’s edition will not proceed, the organisation will continue to build innovative platforms and experiences that highlight Africa’s diversity, creativity, and opportunity, with the goal of driving tourism growth by 25% and strengthening Africa’s position on the global stage.
The organisation sincerely thanks all partners, exhibitors, media, and members of the African diaspora community who have shown tremendous support and enthusiasm throughout the planning process.
Refunds: All ticket purchases for Africa Travel Shows 2025 will be fully refunded. Attendees and partners with queries regarding refunds are kindly requested to contact:
