MICE masterclass

27 - 28 july 2023

THEME: Igniting Post COVID-19 African Business Tourism & MICE Transformation for The Global Marketplace

ABOUT MICE

The World Tourism Organisation acknowledges that the MICE sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global tourism industry. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, prior to Covid-19, travel and tourism industry globally is worth some US$7 trillion. Africa accounts for not more than around 2 per cent of that figure, or around US$13 billion, an indication that Africa’s MICE industry has potential that must be exploited in the face of rising interest in the continent.

Against this background, ATP has designed and delivered the annual Africa Business and MICE Masterclass as a professional development and refresher programme for Africa Industry stakeholders. ATP has therefore delivered this programme since 2018 in collaboration with BDO and with the support of Southern Africa Association of Conference Industry, UNWTO and SITE Africa, South Africa Tourism, and many other partners.

The Masterclass is the only one of this nature in Africa and has grown from strength to strength since inception including the 2020 (hybrid Format) and 2021 editions.
