Travels & Tours Expo

Global tourism reached a record 1.52 billion international arrivals in 2025, up 4% from 2024, with Africa the fastest growing region in the world. The Boston Consulting Group projects a $15 trillion global leisure travel boom by 2040, and Africa is positioned to capture a growing share of that spend.

That momentum is unevenly distributed, concentrated largely in North and Southern Africa. The Travels & Tours Expo makes the stronger, collective case: connecting the world to Africa as a continent of destinations, hosted in Lagos.

Alongside the panel programme, the Expo's exhibition floor showcases African destinations, tourism boards, airlines, hotel groups and travel technology platforms in one space, converting conversation into bookings, partnerships and investment leads.
