Tourism & Aviation Connectivity Forum

Wednesday 11 June 2025

Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport

Tourism engagement is often the missing link in the route development process. Destinations that fail to fully integrate tourism with their aviation strategies risk losing airline routes — and once those routes are gone, it is difficult to bring them back.
