Our collective vision is to grow Africa's share of the outdoor (adventure) tourism market in support of the #AfricaAgenda2063 goals.
I am developing an outdoor event marketplace to boost sustainable tourism in Africa.
👉 You're invited to join the team as a co-founder in your (African) country.
We have co-founders in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tunisia. Algeria, Libya, and Mauritania are pending confirmation. Co-founders for the remaining 46 African states are actively being sought.
To help you decide (respond to this post), here's a brief Q&A:
Why is W4A re-launching as a marketplace?

Hi everyone! My name is Vanessa and I am the founder of the Tourism Entrepreneur Network, the first global platform for travel and hospitality entrepreneurs. Thanks for visiting this page, please take a minute to upvote and share. You can also take a look at our website and listen to our podcast here: www.tourismentrepreneur.com
I will be co-hosting a series of story sharing events with grassroots social entrepreneurs from ethnic minority groups whose works are connected to hospitality, gastronomy tourism, creative and cultural experiences, aiming to create a channel for them to connect to potential active resources (i.e, audience, visitor, sponsor, ambassador, network, investor, consultant, designer, volunteer). The first event of " A Spoonful of Story" will gather us to hear the story of the Dom women in the old city of Jerusalem using the magic of their customs, foods and crafts to maintain their cultural pride and claim social justice. Please spread the word among your network. There is a place for everyone to sit with us, hear from the women of the community, and find your place in their world.
The event is free , registration in advance is required.
