8th Annual E-Tourism Africa Summit: Pretoria

(Sept. 21-22nd 2015 )With the majority of the world’s travel now being sold online the tourism sector worldwide has embraced the need to make better use of technology in their businesses. The real challenge is now keeping pace with the rate of change as technology, social media and adoption of new devices grow and evolve at an incredible pace.

#eTAS15 will show you best to face the challenges of working in a travel market that decides how it wants you to communicate with them, creates and shares more content than you do and can do a better job of selling your products than you do.

You will find real solutions at #eTAS15, with sessions discussing e-business essentials, digital marketing tools, and instruction and advice for using Social Media to market your business all presented via onstage discussions between educational and entertaining local and international guests at the 012Central in Pretoria.
