Angola seeks tourism investment at BITUR 2026 fair in Luanda

The International Stock Exchange of Tourism of Angola, held in Luanda, will bring operators, investors and partners together to build business deals.

The International Tourism Fair of Angola, known as BITUR 2026, will run from November 20 to 22 in Luanda. Organised by the Institute for Tourism Promotion (INFOTUR) under the slogan “Angola Like Never Before”, it aims to attract investment to the tourism sector and position Angola as a competitive destination in Southern Africa.

South Africa is the guest country of honour and is expected to promote regional cooperation by linking companies, tour operators and investors from both countries. The fair is expected to gather tourism operators, businesses, public institutions and international partners to create business opportunities and partnerships.

The fair will also host an international forum on the sector's challenges and opportunities, with a focus on investment, innovation, regional tourism integration and promoting Angola in international markets. The initiative comes as Angola seeks to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil, with tourism identified as a source of jobs and foreign exchange.

Why it mattersHotel developers, transport firms, travel agencies and restaurants are the businesses the fair targets for new deals and partnerships in Luanda.
