The African Tourism Board is a public-private partnership with one strong message. This message is to tell the world that Africa Tourism is becoming one destination and is wide open for business. Africa is a safe continent and welcomes tourists, investments, and partnership with open arms. Africa Tourism Board is also welcoming tourism leaders from around Africa and the rest of the world with open arms to bring leadership, innovation and investment opportunities.

Tourism leaders are sensing this drive for Africa to grow together. Leaving politics behind and by attracting tourism leaders to join this new platform to cut through the chase. African Tourism Board is all about increasing business, investments and positive awareness for the often forgotten continent.

As one of the first sponsors and founding member, The iFREE Group in HongKong  is a global company pioneering new ways to stay connected in the world of travel and mobile communications.

From international calls and data roaming solutions to Wi-Fi connectivity and unique travel products, the iFREE Group has set a goal to break down barriers and bring the world closer together, and Africa is definitely on their agenda.

The newly formed African Tourism Board  is based on the latest initiative put in place by the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP)
