ABTA launches African Business Travel Conference

The conference will see business travel industry professionals from across the African continent converge in a hive of educational activity, focusing on giving practical guidance on a host of business travel trends, challenges and opportunities.

The conference will also give delegates plenty of opportunities for interaction with their peers, allowing all present to build a strong network of business travel contacts in emerging African markets and is also a 'must-attend' for any travel professionals across the globe who have an interest in learning more about business travel in Africa.

The conference entitled "ABTC 2014 - Education, Strategy, Power" expects to attract 250 to 300 delegates from across all industry sectors including travel managers and buyers, procurement and finance professionals, TMC's, airlines, hotels and a host of other business travel suppliers.

"We are so excited to be making this announcement and are thrilled to be able to host an education-rich two and a half day conference, supported by top travel buyers, TMC's and suppliers across Africa. This conference has been a long time coming and with our ABTA Members regularly indicating a real eagerness to be able to meet with their peers from other African countries, we feel that the time is now right to embark on this new and exciting project" says Monique Swart, founder of ABTA.
