Africa Tourism Renaissance Conference 2025 | Empowering Youth Entrepreneurs
Africa is rising — not just as a destination, but as a dynamic force for innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural transformation. The Africa Tourism Renaissance Conference 2025 is a groundbreaking initiative designed to elevate youth entrepreneurs in Africa and the diaspora by connecting them with industry leaders, investors, and policymakers. Set to take place at the prestigious Accra Marriott Hotel in Ghana, this flagship event will gather changemakers from across Africa and beyond to discuss sustainable tourism, creative economies, and inclusive development strategies that shape the future of African travel and entrepreneurship.
Organized by the visionary Sixth African Region Initiatives (SARI) — a Pan-African social enterprise rooted in Ghana and inspired by the global African diaspora — ATRC 2025 is more than a conference; it’s a movement. SARI is launching its dedicated Youth Entrepreneur Portal to support founders aged 18 to 35 leading SMEs and MSMEs in tourism and related industries such as hospitality, eco-tourism, agri-tourism, travel tech, food entrepreneurship, and the creative arts. Through this platform, youth entrepreneurs can apply for fully funded, partially funded, or self-funded opportunities to attend ATRC 2025 and access international exposure, mentorship, and market linkage.

This initiative aims to drive sustainable tourism in Africa, foster cross-border collaborations, and enable the next generation of African innovators to thrive in the global tourism economy.
