World Holiday and Travel Fair – moved to 19-21 June 2009
THE WORLD HOLIDAY AND TRAVEL FAIR (WHTF) WILL NOW TAKE PLACE FROM 19-21 JUNE 2009. According to the show’s general manager, Glynis Anderson, the decision to move the fair to June was taken after considering the likelihood that the country’s general elections will be taking place in mid April while Indaba of course will take place in May. Thus, comments Anderson, “it seems June would be a far more suited time for this hugely exciting show.”
“Given the fact that World Holiday and Travel Fair (WHTF) is the only consumer fair that will showcase and facilitate outbound travel and holiday options (from around Africa and the world), amidst non-stop fun, food and festivities for the whole family, we believe that moving the time slot for the show would add to the success of the show for exhibitors and visitors alike.”
“Our presenting sponsor, International banking from Absa, as well as all other sponsors and partners have been consulted in the decision and they are fully supportive”, continues Anderson.
According to Anderson interest in the show has increased considerably since the start of this year. “Moving the date of the show forward now also provides exhibitors and interested parties with more time to develop and package great show specials to ensure they get maximum value out of their participation.”
The format of the show has been carefully crafted to provide a cost-effective, high-impact marketing platform to the travel and tourism industry to not only showcase their offerings, but to market and sell at the show. There will also be a wide range of educational workshops (on the first day of the show) for the travel trade. “We are aiming to put on a fair like no other; offering not only great value to exhibitors, but also to visitors,” concludes Anderson.
In addition to great travel and holiday options, World Holiday and Travel Fair will also offer visitors value-adding workshops, exciting youth travel options, international cuisine at The Theatre of Food, international entertainment at the Festival Stage and much more.
