Tanzania to Host 2025 World Travel Awards Africa & Indian Ocean Ceremony
Tanzania will host the 32nd edition of the World Travel Awards (WTA) for Africa and the Indian Ocean on 28 July 2025 in Dar es Salaam, marking the first time an African country has staged the prestigious event. Organised by the World Luxury Media Group, the ceremony is expected to draw over 500 attendees, including 300 international participants, providing a significant boost to the country’s global tourism profile.
The announcement follows Tanzania’s consistent recognition at past WTA events and aligns with recent national efforts to promote the destination internationally, including President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s high-profile “Royal Tour” campaign. Fifty Tanzanian attractions and tourism-related businesses have been nominated across multiple award categories. The event will be hosted at Johari Rotana Hotel, with Shufaa Pan Africa Hospital serving as the official medical provider. Hosting the WTA positions Tanzania to further showcase its tourism offering and expands local opportunities in hospitality, medical tourism, and event services.
