SA Tourism was recognised as a leading participator in the Tourism and Hospitality Category after a week-long exhibition at the Luanda International Fair (FILDA), where it promoted South Africa as a top leisure destination for Angolan travellers. SA Tourism is eager to extend communications with the Angolan trade community and recently appointed a full-time Head of Trade Relations to engage with stakeholders as it grows leisure and business travel from this market. Southern Sun, Sun International, and Sandton Intercontinental were exhibitors, demonstrating South Africa’s cosmopolitan lifestyle offerings to Angolan travellers. “FILDA allowed us to extend and entrench mutually beneficial relationships with the Angolan trade,” said SA Tourism’s Regional Director of Africa, Phumi Dhlomo. “We can look forward to building on the growth of leisure and business travel by Angolans to South Africa.” source:www.tourismupdate.co.za
