It is estimated that 20% of the world’s population will be living in Africa within the next 20 years. The Africa story has meant that consumer demands, expectations, lifestyles and business needs are changing drastically.
And this is set to dramatically impact travel patterns across the continent. Africa therefore presents massive potential in terms of economic development, growth opportunities and air travel.
