First APTA Global Forum 2026 Pre/Post FAM Opportunities Announced

Ticket sales for the 2026 APTA Global Forum in Livingstone, Zambia are already moving quickly—but now there’s even more reason to secure your spot.

We’re excited to announce the first batch of pre- and post-Forum FAM opportunities, giving attendees the chance to extend their stay and experience some of Southern Africa’s most compelling tourism products firsthand.

As always, APTA FAMs are designed with purpose—connecting buyers directly with product, creating deeper destination knowledge, and driving real business opportunities.

What to Expect

This initial release offers a strong mix of experiences across Zambia and Zimbabwe, with options ranging from:

• Iconic safari lodges and wildlife experiences

• Boutique luxury properties

• River-based stays along the Zambezi

• Soft adventure and immersive, nature-led escapes

Additional FAMs will continue to be added on a rolling basis, but early options are already highly attractive—and in many cases, capacity will be limited.
