THEBE EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS LAUNCHES WORLD HOLIDAY AND TRAVEL FAIR
The only exhibition where South Africans can consider their global travel options - the World Holiday & Travel Fair - will be held at the Coca-Cola dome from 17 to 19 April 2009.
The fair, recently launched at Moyo Zoo Lake, will be a consumer travel exhibition that will offer a one-stop shop for travellers wishing to travel outbound from South Africa.
The event is supported by the South African chapter of the Association of National Tourist Office Representatives (ANTOR), whose members are representatives of foreign tourism boards in South Africa.
It is expected that this annual exhibition will see an estimated 150 exhibitors in 2009 of which up to 80 percent will be representing international destinations.
The exhibition will run over three days and whilst essentially a consumer exhibition, Friday 17 April will be mostly aimed at members of the travel industry such as travel agents and tour operators. The weekend of 18 and 19 April 2009 will offer visitors a feast of travel options.
There will be segmented pavilion areas for, among others, youth travel, family holidays and backpackers. Food and wine tasting will give visitors a first-hand feel of what they can expect at their chosen destinations. A prominent festival area will be a hub of cultural activities, including dancing, musical performances and cooking, making the potential travel experience as authentic as possible.
Additional support for the World Holiday & Travel Fair is currently being gathered from the travel industry to ensure an exciting, representative event. |
