A THIRD day has been
added to World Travel
Market (WTM) Africa
2015. Next year’s show
will be attended by 250
hosted buyers, Reed Travel
Exhibitions has announced.
Sheree Simpson, gm of
WTM Africa at Thebe Reed
Exhibitions, told members
of the industry at an event
in Johannesburg that WTM
Africa was unique in that it
was both an inbound and
outbound show. “There is no
other show in South Africa
that has your inbound and
outbound buyer,” she said.
She added that domestic
retail agents and corporate
travel buyers would also be
in attendance.
According to Sheree, the
show will feature three
speed networking sessions,
prior to the opening of the
show, where exhibitors will
have the opportunity to
meet with hosted buyers
as well as members of the
WTM Buyers’ Club for a few
minutes. These five-minute
sessions would allow buyers
and exhibitors to gauge
compatibility and schedule
an appointment during the
show if they wished, she
said.
WTM Africa 2015 will take
place from April 15-17 as
part of Africa Travel Week at
the Cape Town International
Convention Centre.
