Thank you to our sponsors and supporters
Houston Travel Marketing will once again be organising a Spotlight TravelExpo in Maputo at the Radisson Blu Hotel. This will be our 15th Spotlight in Maputo.
At our previous TravelExpo in June 2024, 100 managers & consultants from 32 different agencies, tour operators, embassies, NGO’s and corporates attended.
Maputo residents and expats do a great deal of traveling to neighbouring countries – Eswatini/Zambia/Botswana and South Africa in particular Mpumalanga and KZN.
Maputo is a hive of commercial, diplomatic, and development activity that generates considerable corporate and leisure travel.
Leisure and shopping travel to Mpumalanga, Northern KZN and Gauteng is increasing rapidly. The bridge and highway to Kosi Bay has stimulated a lot of interest in visits to Northern KZN.
