Sign up for Africa Travel Week’s webinar on managing overtourism

Africa Travel Week will host a live webinar exploring solutions to overtourism in Africa on 25 November, using Kenya's Maasai Mara as a case study to examine the balance between tourism growth and preservation.

Expert panellists including Calvin Cotter, Mohanjeet Brar, Samson Lenjirr and Chris Roche will discuss key challenges facing African destinations and share insights on sustainable tourism management. The session will examine successful community-led initiatives, visitor caps, and conservation-based pricing strategies.

Titled “Beyond the Mara: Profit vs Preservation - who owns Africa's future?”, the webinar aims to highlight shared responsibilities between international tourism demand and local management in preserving Africa's natural heritage.
