Dubai hosted a pivotal event as the UAE-Africa Tourism Investment Summit 2025 commenced at Madinat
Jumeirah on Monday, under the banner “Building Bridges for Sustainable Growth”. Organized by The Bench as
part of the Future Hospitality Summit (FHS World 2025), this summit aims to foster cooperation between the
UAE and African countries within the tourism sector.

Bringing together over 350 delegates, including government officials, investors, and entrepreneurs from the
UAE and 53 African nations, the summit positioned tourism as a significant component of economic
advancement. It targeted opportunities for strategic investments, infrastructure enhancement, and pioneering
tourism services.

Underlining the UAE’s expanding impact on global tourism, discussions focused on incorporating sustainable
practices in hospitality and tourism development. Participants assessed projects poised to boost cross-border
tourism, promote responsible travel habits, and nurture lasting economic collaborations.

The agenda highlighted critical issues such as tourism financing, infrastructure growth, hospitality innovation,
and investment in Africa's emerging tourist destinations. Attendees participated in discussions concerning best
practices, potential joint ventures, and initiatives to elevate tourism’s role in promoting sustainable development.

As the UAE roles itself as a strategic ally in Africa’s tourism evolution, the summit spotlighted new business
ventures, knowledge exchange, and sustained partnerships that are in sync with global sustainable tourism
ambitions.
