The Africa Tourism Leadership awards will be held at Kigali in the stunning country of Rwanda on October 21, 2020. The forum will be held under the theme “Shaping the future of intra-Africa travel together through a shared vision”.

With the awards coming in the wake of Covid-19, the competition will be stiff as they will also pay attention and recognise nominees who have shown a commitment to leadership through sustainability and innovative strategies as well as solutions to challenges posed by Covid-19.
Apart from nominating organisations and individuals, self-nominations are also accepted. Deadline for Awards and competition entries is July 30, 2020.
