There are many reasons why countries within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) should enjoy an incredible boom in tourism. In comparison to many other countries they offer relatively high levels of safety for travelers, with currency exchange rates that very strongly favour tourists from developed countries.

Africa is the home of adventure tourism. Most people, especially the jetsetting millennials, want experiences that let them tell great stories. Africa offers from the mildest adventure experience, like luxury glamping in a private game park, to extreme adventure like white water rafting in the shadow of the mighty Victoria falls or close encounters with wildlife on a walking safari.

Africa allows for customization and flexibility of the touring experience: Most tour operators realize they need to be flexible in creating a great customer experience. In Africa you are often dealing with small establishments that can accommodate a more personal level of service and customization.

Southern Africa is rapidly becoming the bleisure destination of choice: Bleisure, i.e. combining business and leisure has never been easier than in SADC. Spectacular sights and experiences are within easy reach of world class conferencing facilities. Countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Swaziland and Malawi are most prominent, although many of the other SADC countries are catching up on the bleisure trend.
Ecotourism: People have an increasing need to view environments in their unspoilt and natural states.
