The inaugural Tourism Investment Forum Africa (TIFA) to be hosted in the Upington, Northern Cape, South Africa from 7-9 June 2023, brings to investors a range of bankable and fully scoped investment opportunities.
Aligned to the theme, “Forging Global Partnerships for Inclusive Local Economic Development Through Sustainable Investment”, the Forum aims to bring together the tourism and investment sectors, to create sustainable economic job creation and employment opportunities.
The Forum will create opportunities for project owners to connect with investors at targeted business-to-business engagements, with investors being able to visit some of the project sites following the Forum.
The Forum will cover amongst others thematic focus areas, investment opportunities and projects (see Picture 1, above)
At the same time, delegates to the Forum will have an opportunity to participate in a range of conversations with speakers and experts from across South Africa, the continent and the world. Issues to be addressed at the conference will aim to provide some innovative thinking to key barriers to investment, and how the host destination, South Africa and the continent, can leverage opportunities that exist to contribute to job creation and economic growth.
