The future
of Tourism is Digital.With the arrival of disruptive brands like
AirBnB,Uber,Amadeus,Booking.com etc.The Tourism landscape globally has changed
irrevocably.
The Tourism ecosystem in Africa is evolving rapidly and now is the right time
to connect and attract the best brains using technology as a launch pad to
change the narratives.
There are
new intersections for African narratives and opportunities in
Afrotourism.Technology is an open avenue which creatives can explore to build
businesses and create opportunities for prosperity around them.
Tourism brings new patterns and
changes to the landscape, such as
globalization, a phenomenon whose impact is not limited to big cities. The
influence of globalization is very clear
in the hospitality sector, for example when you can find similar hotel rooms,
restaurants and services– whether it be in Lagos,Accra
,Nairobi,London, Paris, Hong Kong, China, or New York,this is the influence of
Technology at play.
Our theme for this year as enunciated above aims to bring to the
roundtable all stakeholders connected to the Tourism and Technology
business in Africa, and through presentations and panel
discussions, throw more light on this
aspect of technology innovation business for the benefit of consumers.
The
Hackhaton would include a competition to select 3 winning innovations that can
offer disruption to the Tourism sector and the evening would be rounded up with
Awards and Dinner.
