The 2026 APTA Global Forum is set for September 25–27 in Livingstone, Zambia, at the newly renovated Avani Victoria Falls Resort — steps from Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. This year’s program is shaping up to be exceptional, bringing together leading buyers, operators, and destination partners from across North America and Africa for high-impact sessions, meaningful B2B connections, and unforgettable social events in one of the continent’s most iconic settings.
If you haven’t registered yet, now is the time. And if you have — thank you! — there’s one more important action item: book your hotel room before the group block closes on May 24.
APTA has secured a discounted rate of US$180 per night (single occupancy, inclusive of breakfast) exclusively for Forum delegates. This rate is available only through the group block, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
To reserve your room at the discounted rate, email your requested dates (September 24–28) to Mainga Mungeleza at mmungeleza@minorhotels.com, CC angela@rightchoicesolutionsllc.onmicrosoft.com, and reference APTA Global Forum group room request in the subject line. The deadline is May 24 — don’t wait.
Discounted pre- and post-Forum FAM opportunities are also available for those looking to extend their time in the region. All details on the Forum and pre/post FAMs can be found here.
