Africa’s Top Travel Tradeshow, INDABA 2015, is set to start on the 9th till 11th May 2015 and it will take place at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in Durban.

The tradeshow illustrates how tourism offerings from various African countries have differentiated themselves by using their unique cultural, historical and natural assets to the full benefit of their tourism industries.
About 1,200 tourism products from 25 African countries were exhibited at INDABA 2014, with Uganda having stall where the ministry of tourism, managed to showcase and present what it has to offer as a tourist destination to the rest of Africa and the world.
South African Tourism board CEO, Mr Thulani Nzima: says that INDABA must give exhibitors an unrivalled and effective platform to showcase their products and services, and to do business.
“South African Tourism board is working to make sure that INDABA 2015 exceeds the business expectations of both exhibitors and buyers” said Thulani Nzima.
