The Inaugural Tourism Investment Forum Africa offers destinations an ideal platform to support and contribute to their investment and trade promotion efforts while actively driving business, investment and trade opportunities within the tourism and other sectors of their economies.

As an investment conference predicated on the philosophy of “a global platform for local action”, the TIFA aims to position host locations and other destinations across the African Continent as viable tourism destinations and thereby assist in attracting investment which will contribute to the growth of both established and emerging businesses.

The Investment Forum also aims to promote and facilitate investment into other sectors of the economy which directly and indirectly impact the business travel and tourism economy of the host destinations.

TIFA aims to leverage the gains and momentum created by the South African Investment Conference by localising investment facilitation and focusing attention on small to large projects within the destination and the region.

The platform draws attention to traditional and non-traditional investments that may not always grab the attention of potential investors.
