About the Summit

From opportunity to readiness

IATF 2029 presents a major opportunity for Zimbabwe’s tourism and hospitality industry - and the time to prepare is NOW.

The Summit brings tourism operators, suppliers and industry leaders together to understand procurement needs, close supply gaps, raise standards, strengthen local procurement and build the partnerships needed to deliver at scale.

Let’s get Zimbabwe IATF-ready.
