Dear hospitality and tourism partners,
Every journey begins long before the bags are packed or the flights are booked.
It often starts with a simple question:
“Where should we go?”
What follows is rarely simple.
Dates are compared. Destinations are debated. Budgets are reviewed. Plans change. New ideas emerge. And just when a decision feels final, another option appears.

Then someone steps in and brings clarity to the process.
Routes become easier to understand. Choices feel more confident. Details begin to align.
In the hospitality and tourism industry, that role is invaluable.
Behind many memorable travel experiences is a travel professional connecting people to places, experiences to expectations, and logistics to comfort.

As we continue spotlighting the sectors shaping HEN 2026, this edition focuses on travel agencies and travel service providers; key players in how journeys are planned, experienced, and remembered.
From itinerary planning and bookings to destination management, group travel coordination, visa support, transportation, and customer experience, travel professionals help turn travel intentions into seamless realities.
At HEN 2026, these connections come to life.

More than an exhibition, HEN is creating an environment where meaningful business interactions happen intentionally. Through initiatives like HEN Meetings a networking hub, dedicated to business matchmaking where industry leaders, suppliers, buyers, innovators, and decision-makers will connect in ways that move beyond introductions into real opportunities.

For travel agencies and service providers, this means direct access to hospitality brands, tourism stakeholders, and strategic partners actively looking to build stronger collaborations across the travel ecosystem.
At HEN, we understand that experiences matter. Time matters. Access matters. Outcomes matter.

That is why HEN 2026 is being intentionally designed to ensure participants spend less time searching and more time connecting with the people and opportunities that truly matter.

For travel agencies and service providers, exhibiting at HEN is more than visibility. It’s an opportunity to position your brand within a growing network shaping the future of hospitality and tourism across Africa and beyond.
