Welcome to my first blog

My presentation at the COMESA Business Forum on 4th June shows the extent of the growth opportunities in Africa and our capacity to take advantage of this growth. Sure there are a number of barriers but the regional integration of trans-frontier parks, specifically the Great Limpopo Trans-Frontier National Park (“GLTF”) is a globally significant opportunity on our doorstep. Spanning South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia and Angola this will be the biggest wildlife conservation area globally. Upon completion GLTF Park will cover an area of over 100,000km² and will provide diverse development and sustainable opportunities at community and national levels.

I have had a busy time recently participating in the excitement that is preceding 2010 and it has struck me that it is difficult to comprehend the long-term opportunities offered by tourism opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa. The excitement continues and I am presenting at the Hotel Investment World Africa presentation next week, the conference runs from 9th-12th June in Cape Town and runs concurrently with World Economic Forum and more feedback from that when I return…

A review of the presentation below and our investor relations website will provide more insights into how African Sun is positioned to participate and contribute in tourism over the next 5 – 10 years. Enjoy. Please let me know if you have any questions – I value your feedback.
