WiT Africa 2026
Africa has spent the last two decades leapfrogging — from landlines to mobile, from cash to mobile money, from access to acceleration. Now, the focus shifts from closing the digital divide to capturing the digital dividend.
Travel sits at the centre of this movement. With the world’s youngest, most connected population and a surge in technological adoption, Africa is no longer an emerging market; it is a growth engine redefining how the world moves, explores, and connects.
As AI reshapes discovery, booking, and experience design, the next 20 years will challenge old gatekeepers, flatten traditional funnels, and elevate what technology cannot replace: culture, context, and human connection.
The Next 20 is about how Africa will lead this shift, blending advanced technology with local insight, indigenous knowledge, and a distinctly African vision for the future of travel.
