Akwaaba Returns to Travel Expo as African Tourism Exchange Grows

The Lagos-based Akwaaba African Travel Market, West Africa’s leading international travel and tourism fair, will return to the 16th Magical Kenya Travel Expo (MKTE) in Nairobi, Kenya, as an exhibitor. This marks the fair's second appearance at the 2026 MKTE, which is scheduled to take place from October 6 to 8 at the Uhuru Gardens National Monument and Museum.

Akwaaba, which has been promoting intra-African travel and tourism for over two decades, previously participated in the MKTE in 2025. The fair's return to the MKTE is aimed at strengthening its engagement with tourism stakeholders across Kenya and the wider African market. Akwaaba has a history of participating in major international tourism exhibitions, including World Travel Market London, ITB Berlin, EMITT Travel Expo in Istanbul, and others, with the goal of creating stronger links among African tour operators, hospitality businesses, airlines, and other professionals within the travel industry.

Established 22 years ago, Akwaaba primarily serves as a platform for Africans to promote Africa to Africans.
