African "Oscar" for tourism

Twelve hundred of Africa’s key ‘movers and shakers’ will attend the most important event of the year for the travel and tourism industry on 7 July at the Sandton Conventon Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The gathering for the World Travel Awards “Africa and Indian Ocean Ceremony 2010” will include CEOs and directors of some of the region’s leading travel companies, government ministers, heads of tourism departments and destinations as well as industry association leaders.

They will be hoping – many with fingers crossed – that they are among the elite to pick up one of the prestigious World Travel Awards, described as the ‘Oscars’ of travel and tourism.

Presentation of the awards takes place at 5pm – but guests will not miss out on the crucial match! A giant screen will show the FIFA World Cup Semi Final immediately after the ceremony.

“This is Africa’s finest night for tourism,” said Graham E. Cooke, Founder and President, World Travel Awards.
