for Public
12 May 2013


The countdown to the annual second premier travel and tourism fair in Africa, with a special focus on promoting the new tourists allures and destinations to the outside world, has begun.

Karibu Travel and Tourism Fair (KTTF), the second largest show on the African continent after Indaba in South Africa, is registered with the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

The fair will run from May 31 - 2nd June, 2013 in Tanzania’s northern safari capital of Arusha. The KTTF is expected to attract more than 7,500 visitors from EA partner states, South Africa, China, the US, and Europe.

Organizers are buoyant that this year’s exhibitors will also eclipse last year’s record of 250, in spite of an international tourism market subdued by the Eurozone debt crisis and terrorists attacks.

“Nearly 300 exhibitors are expected to take part in this year’s fair, along with media and thousands of regional and international visitors,” said Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) Executive Secretary Mr. Mustapha Akuunay.

The KTTF will draw participants from several Asian, European, and US countries. From the African continent, exhibitors will come from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, South Africa, Seychelles, Zambia, Zimbabwe, DRC Congo, and the host, Tanzania.

With little more than two weeks to go to KTTF, which takes place at the Magereza Open grounds near Arusha Airport, so much anticipation and excitement is building up to this event that some have called it "the most significant show."
