The French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI) attended the 2026 World Travel Market Africa in Cape Town, held on Tuesday, 14 April.
As the official Representation Office in South Africa for Île de La Réunion Tourisme, FSACCI was present at the La Réunion Ultimate Island stand, alongside Île de La Réunion Tourisme and tourism professionals from the island, to present the destination to the South African market.
The platform enabled direct engagement with travel trade professionals. FSACCI and its partners shared insights on the destination and explored opportunities to increase travel flows between South Africa and La Réunion. Discussions focused on market access, partnerships, and product visibility.
During the event, the stand received visits from industry stakeholders, including tour operators, travel agents, and business representatives. These interactions supported efforts to position La Réunion as a travel option for South African tourists.
FSACCI also noted the participation of its members exhibiting independently at the show, including African Eagle Day Tours and CFAO Mobility South Africa (Hertz Rent a Car, Dollar Car Rental, and Thrifty Car Rental), each of whom had their own stand. Their presence contributed to broader business exchange and sector visibility.
WTM Africa remains a key meeting point for the tourism industry, bringing together stakeholders from across the value chain to connect and identify business opportunities.
FSACCI thanks its partners and members for their participation and engagement during the event and continues to support initiatives that strengthen ties between South Africa and La Réunion through tourism and trade.
