Sanganai Hlanganani simply fits the bill in terms of direct translation for buyers, investors and exhibitors are bound to meet and greet at some point. Various tourism establishments will gain more business connections if they share ideas and show each other the ropes.
Great minds think alike, therefore the World Tourism Expo is a bonafide round table when talking about B2B networking in line with the highly acclaimed entrepreneurial compass. It goes without saying, that the Sanganai Hlanganani physically brings the global village down to Zimbabwe where the world meets Africa.

Indeed, strengthening business ties with different countries around the globe is a dream that came true for this year we had a significant increase in exhibitors. For a classified platform that is far and in-between, it’s best to grab this stroke of luck and market away thee tourism product to the best of our ability.
From the 12th to the 14th, all roads led to the City of Kings and Queens and everyone stuck around to experience the tourism magic unfold. During the course of the event, tourists went from one stand to the other in their quest for knowledge and they got souvenirs in the form of fliers, calendars and magazines.
If anything, the 16th edition of Africa’s Premier Business Exchange paved way for Handei Zimbabwe to mix and mingle thereby dangling it’s services like a carrot for all to see. To cut a long story short, the expo is a brainchild of the MICE concept which promotes and elevates our tourism footprint to another level.
Furthermore, the beauty of destination awareness is potrayed by the four entities that reeks of meetings, incentives, conferences and events to boot. Our country has tourism potential and with that in mind we will definitely keep our businesses afloat for ages to come. Treasured readers we meet to part and we part to meet.
