INDABA 2024

INDABA is one of the largest tourism marketing events on the African continent. It has also been dubbed as one of the top three ‘must visit’ events of its kind on the overarching global calendar. This popular tourism trade show showcases the widest variety of Southern Africa’s best tourism products and attracts international buyers and media from across the globe.
The 2024 INDABA is taking place from 16-18 May 2024 at both the Durban International Convention Centre and the adjacent Durban Exhibition Centre.
INDABA has been growing steadily since the early 80′s and has won accolades for Africa’s best travel and tourism show by the Association of World Travel Awards in 2014 and 2013 respectively.
This three-day event attracts over 13 000 visitors each year. The purpose of the show is to facilitate networking amongst people from various sectors of the travel industry and to showcase the latest tourism-related products.
The INDABA is well worth the visit for anyone involved in tourism and acts as a platform for those looking to get into the industry. This is done through exposing interested parties to big industry leaders and giving them the chance to network face-to-face. However, the Indaba organisers urge that applicants await confirmation from the Indaba team before booking accommodation and arranging meetings, as attendees will only be granted entrance for the days they have been approved to attend.
