Theme: Advancing Sustainability Stewardship: Valuable Pathways to 2030
We are thrilled to announce that the 11th Sustainable Tourism Africa Summit 2026 will be held at Lake Naivasha Resort on the 14th & 15th May.
The annual forum brings together industry practitioners, thought leaders, innovators and early adopters of sustainable tourism from Africa and across the globe to deliberate on challenges and opportunities and emerging trends in sustainable tourism and set the pace of action for sustainable tourism through resolutions.
This year marks a pivotal shift in our journey where our focus moves from implementation to stewardship - action must be taken to ensure the steps we've taken towards sustainability develop into valuable impact for our ecosystems, communities and economies.
Our goal remains the same, to curate a sustainable future for Africa's tourism by creating a stage for experiences to be shared, partnerships to be formed and habits to be learned, unlearnt and relearned.
Discussions this year will explore critical topics shaping our pathway to 2030 and will include:
- Accelerating SDG Accountability and Impact - What works, what doesn't and what else can be done
- Sustainable Governance - Foundations, long-term anchors and legacy
- Measuring what Matters - Credible and Valuable Impact Measurement
- Responsible MICE - Maintaining responsibility and accountability
- Debunking Climate Action Myths - The facts behind effective plans and strategies
- Accountable Destination Planning and Management - Inclusive, resilient, and responsibly managed tourism destinations
