AITEC World and World Tourism Forum Institute Partnership: Meeting at Angola Investment Summit from 17th-19th June

COTONOU-

Africa’s tourism and economic diplomacy landscape is set for another defining moment as the Africa International Tourism and Economic Council (AITEC World) officially announces its participation in the forthcoming Angola Investment Summit—an event poised to position Angola as a rising hub for global for tourism, investment and strategic partnerships.

Scheduled to take place from 17–19 June 2026 in Luanda, the Summit will convene an influential mix of global leaders, investors, policymakers, and industry experts. Organized by the Global Tourism Forum (GTF), the event aims to spotlight Angola’s expanding economic potential and attract transformative investments across key sectors.

Adding further prestige to the summit is the confirmation that H.E. João Lourenço, President of Angola, will attend as the Guest of Honour, delivering the official opening address. His presence underscores Angola’s commitment at the highest level to economic diversification, international collaboration, and sustainable development.

Strengthening Strategic Alliances

AITEC World’s participation is not just symbolic—it reflects a deepening collaboration with the Global Tourism Forum, built on a strong foundation of partnership and shared vision.

This relationship was formalized during the GTF Annual Meeting in Brussels, last year where an MoU was signed between both organizations. Representing AITEC World at the landmark signing was Board Member, Hon. Catherine Afeku, whose engagement reinforced AITEC World’s commitment to fostering cross-continental investment and tourism development.

The Angola Investment Summit now becomes a natural progression of that partnership—transforming agreements into actionable opportunities and dialogue into tangible outcomes.

Angola’s Rising Investment Profile

Angola, long known for its rich natural resources, is undergoing a significant transformation aimed at broadening its economic base. With reforms focused on improving the business environment, enhancing infrastructure, and encouraging foreign direct investment, the country is steadily emerging as a competitive destination for investors.
The summit will provide a critical platform to:
Showcase Angola’s priority sectors including tourism, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure

Facilitate high-level networking between investors and government stakeholders

Promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth strategies

For AITEC World, whose mandate bridges tourism and economic development, this presents an opportunity to advocate for tourism-led investment as a catalyst for job creation, cultural exchange, and regional integration.

A Call to Shape Africa’s Future

The Angola Investment Summit is more than just a gathering—it is a call to action for stakeholders across Africa and beyond to actively participate in shaping the continent’s economic future.
AITEC World invites partners, investors, and industry leaders to be part of this landmark event. As Africa continues to assert itself on the global stage, platforms like this summit are crucial in aligning vision with opportunity.
