Welcome to series 4 of Inspiring African Travel.  We have decided to dedicate this series to celebrating 2022 as the year of travelling to Africa. Yip we’ve called it!  Travel to Southern and East Africa is WELL underway and bookings for the upcoming season are exploding by the day!  For this series, every few  weeks we’ll catch up and talk about what's happening in the travel sector.  What's new from the people operating on the ground in destinations across the continent and also from travel companies around the world that sell our destinations.  The lifeblood of our industry!  We want to share real time feedback about bookings into the continent of Africa to give you ideas and of course inspiration.   Our man on the ground at the moment in Zimbabwe, Andrew Flatt, will be talking to travel industry people in Victoria Falls who are attending Africa’s Eden travel trade show - the first of a new kind of travel show in Africa. He’ll be sending us short interviews from travel sellers and safari operators and those at the coalface from all corners of the region.  If you’re wondering… if this podcast is aimed at you? YES! This series should be enjoyed by anyone affected by travel in Africa.  We hope those of you working abroad in travel companies will have the opportunity to gain ideas about overcoming obstacles and share inspiration for building momentum in 2022.  Of course if you’re a keen traveller who listen to the show and love Africa. Here’s your chance to hear what we get up to and why this year will be the year to travel to Africa!  Now that’s the short introduction but we hope you enjoy our series overview episode as we catch up and give you insight into the coming months.  Why the unusual paining you ask? We try to educate Stuart into the way of art so have a listen to find out what his take on this painting way.  And no, nothing to do with Inspiring African Travel but it made us chuckle!
