Africa’s Eden
Africa's Eden is the first regional destination marketing and sales platform that brings together private sector across Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We currently have over 400 products across the four countries. Our association is representative of the entire tourism ecosystem.
Over and above the destination marketing work we are doing with all tourism operators we are actively engaging the suppliers to the tourism industry. As tourism recovers more than ever we are looking to provide a networking platform between our existing members in the sector and their suppliers. The tourism value chain has an opportunity to open up, become more competitive and integrate networking and digital platforms for business.
Africa's Eden has strengthen the destination in which it operates in by providing support and promotion for our tourism sector members. We continue to look towards innovation and technology for new ways to reach our markets whilst retaining and fostering loyalty in the travel trade. We provide activities and campaigns which strength the destination and ultimately increase demand for supplies of goods and services.
