Thank you to our sponsors and supporters
This TravelExpo is a Spotlight on everywhere…. overseas travel, Africa, regional and domestic travel within Zambia.
Outbound Travel is increasing and there are 100 IATA and numerous Non-IATA Travel Agencies in Zambia so it will be an ideal opportunity for Airlines, International Tourist offices, cruise companies to network with agents.
Lusaka, Livingstone and Ndola have excellent connections to cities around Africa -Johannesburg, Cape Town, Harare, Gaborone, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Addis as well as flights to many overseas destinations.
Being a land locked country Indian Ocean beach holidays to Zanzibar, Mauritius & Seychelles are also very popular in Zambia.
Spotlight also has the full support of TAAZ (Travel Agents Association of Zambia) who will send regular invites out to their members.
This Expo is an ideal opportunity for hotels, lodges and tourism organisations within Zambia to promote their packages, lodges, shopping opportunities etc.
