Congo to Host First Nabemba Tourism Expo Highlighting Regional Travel Opportunities
The Republic of Congo is set to unveil its tourism potential. It will host the first-ever Nabemba Tourism Expo. This event will run from November 18th to 20th, 2025 at the Brazza Mall Center.
The expo, a collaboration between the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, Art and Leisure and Wild Safari Tours, aims to put Congo on the map as a key player in Central African tourism. It will bring together international buyers, travel agents, tour operators, airlines, and media, creating a platform for valuable networking and business deals.
Expect engaging roundtable discussions and one-on-one meetings. The expo’s goals are straightforward: to showcase Congo’s attractions, foster business relationships between African and international professionals, and solidify Congo’s position in Central Africa’s tourism market. This includes a focus on business tourism and incentive travel.
This event presents a significant opportunity for MICE planners and suppliers across Africa. It offers a chance to explore partnerships and discover exciting new destinations within the continent. The Nabemba Tourism Expo promises to be a crucial event for anyone involved in the African travel and hospitality industry.
Ethiopian Airlines Adds Twin Otter 300-G To Enhance Domestic Connectivity
Ethiopian Airlines is bolstering its domestic network.
They’ve added two De Havilland Canada Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft to their fleet.
These versatile turboprops can access remote areas. This is crucial given Ethiopia’s diverse geography.
The Twin Otter’s capabilities include short take-offs and landings. It can operate from unpaved airstrips and even lakeside runways. This opens up service to previously unreachable communities. The airline will improve tourism, medical evacuations, and humanitarian aid delivery. The aircraft’s modern avionics and fuel efficiency also reduce operational costs. This investment supports Ethiopian Airlines’ Vision 2025 strategy, prioritizing domestic connectivity alongside international growth. The airline’s approach contrasts with many African carriers that focus more on international routes. By using a combination of long-haul and regional aircraft, Ethiopian Airlines is boosting economic inclusion and improving regional connectivity within the country.
