It seems as if African tourism properties are genuinely leading the charge in the sustainable tourism world – particularly regarding conservation and community initiatives. Nwabisa Mjoli and Gulam Sawant have spoken to hundreds of esteemed global hospitality professionals over the past year, yet they were blown away by the quality of conversation that they had at the Sustainable Travel & Tourism Africa Summit 2024 in Kenya last month. The event maintains a great balance of academics and the 'doers' i.e. people who put theory into practice. Our sustainability practitioner, Nwabisa, mentioned 4 key highlights: 1. Panel Discussion on Sustainability and Business Growth: One of the stand-out presentations was Prof. Marina Novelli's presentation on partnerships driving youth innovation in Sub-Saharan Africa's tourism, citing the #sttachangemakers model as pivotal for sustainable growth and empowerment among young entrepreneurs. 2. Role of Museums in Sustainable Tourism: Prof. Mary Gikungu from the National Museums of Kenya discussed museums' evolving role in shaping sustainable tourism policies, emphasizing the challenges facing heritage sites and the importance of youth engagement in heritage preservation. 3. Panel on Youth Capacities in Tourism: Moderated by Dr. Mary Mutisya, this session addressed enhancing youth skills through mentorship and curriculum reform to meet evolving industry demands. 4. Weeva's Workshop on Preparedness Planning: Our workshop emphasized the importance of preparedness and resilience in tourism. Participants engaged in creating action plans and examining case studies in group settings. The workshop also highlighted the effectiveness of leveraging Saas software platforms for streamlined planning and comprehensive risk management strategies.

We attended some epic trade events in April and May but Bronwyn Litkie, Clayton Vigne and Gulam Sawant were *raving* about Africa's Travel Indaba 2024. 2 nuggets gleaned after plenty of conversations with hoteliers, agents and operators: 1. Almost every property from Africa said that DMCs and travel agents consistently ask them what they're doing for sustainability and will send them a list of sustainability-related questions to get their answers. While this is great for now, a list of questions to answer isn't scalable or transparent and that's where the beauty of Weeva's reporting comes in (find the ins and outs of Weeva reporting here: https://lnkd.in/dddH8xDQ ) 2. Digital marketing is becoming more and more important in the industry's purchasing process but face-to-face is still king when it comes to building trust and tailoring your pitch to individual needs. 3 things we 💚 most about Indaba: 1. The event has a relaxed, casual atmosphere. People are approachable and open to chat, making it a perfect environment for natural, more 'human' conversations. 2. While most trade shows are filled with marketing and sales teams, the people who attend Indaba are predominantly the decision-makers in the business. This is huge for short-cutting the decision-making process in larger companies. 3. There's a great mix of luxury and regular properties which means you leave the event with a more realistic, nuanced understanding of the industry.
