All is set for the 21st Akwaaba African Travel Market, scheduled to take place from 14th – 16th September 2025 at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos. The travel fair will be partnering with

Wakanow, Africa’s leading travel technology company.

Akwaaba African Travel Market, West Africa’s leading travel fair, which has been held since 2004,  is expected to attract over 3,000 participants from across the continent, including tourism boards, airlines, travel companies, hoteliers, and key industry stakeholders.

The fair has become a platform that facilitates connections, fosters collaborations, and showcases the diverse offerings of the African travel industry.

“Following the success of the 20th edition in 2024, the event stands as a testament to its enduring commitment to promoting travel, aviation, hospitality, and tourism in Africa. Attendees can expect a dynamic showcase of destinations, travel and aviation products, and tourism initiatives that reflect the richness and diversity of the African continent.

“The event has successfully organised various initiatives such as the Africa Travel 100 Awards, African Medical Tourism editions, African Youth Tourism Bantaba and Destination Wedding, earning recognition with an Award of Excellence in Tourism from the Nigerian Government and UNWTO at the Global Tourism Summit in 2022.”

The 21st Akwaaba African Travel Market will feature exhibitions, panel sessions, B2B meetings, and networking opportunities aimed at shaping the future of travel and tourism in West Africa.
