The world’s foremost body to exclusively promote travel to Africa, the Africa Travel Association, is set to hold their regular US–Africa Seminar, taking place later this week on March 5 at the Washington Convention Center in DC.

Registration is still possible, it was pointed out to this correspondent, even on arrival at the meeting venue and well-known US diplomat, at least here in Eastern Africa, Ambassador Johnnie Carson, now Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, will be addressing the participants on policy issues of the Obama administration vis-a-vis travel and tourism to Africa.

Emirates and South African Airways have been named as airline sponsors, while Sheratons’ owners Starwood Hotels and Resorts are also said to be on board as a major corporate sponsor of the meeting. Obtaining the required visa, of course, permitting, go rush to the venue and help build a solid axis between the US and Africa, adds this correspondent.
