Des here - team builder at Walk4Africa (W4A).
Our collective vision is to grow Africa's share of the outdoor (adventure) tourism market in support of the #AfricaAgenda2063 goals.
I am developing an outdoor event marketplace to boost sustainable tourism in Africa.
👉 You're invited to join the team as a co-founder in your (African) country.
We have co-founders in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tunisia. Algeria, Libya, and Mauritania are pending confirmation. Co-founders for the remaining 46 African states are actively being sought.
To help you decide (respond to this post), here's a brief Q&A:
Why is W4A re-launching as a marketplace?
Let's look at some stats (from futuremarketinsights.com):
🌍 The global outdoor (adventure) tourism market earned $282 billion in 2021.
🐘 Market statistics for the Africa continent as a whole is estimated at $112.2 million
😱 For Africa, this figure represent a market share of under 0.04%!
Why is Africa performing poorly?

I'll still be in Bansko (Bulgaria) and probably go to the mountains and look at the fireworks in the town from above 🎆
That sounds ideal 😋
WHAT! This sounds like an amazing way to spend the New Year!! 😲
I'll be in Tasmania, probably doing a sunset swim at the beach, then drinking some local wine! NYE is always fun in this part of the world, being a year ahead of everyone for a few hours!
This sounds AMAZING! I've never been, and definitely on my radar.
In the middle of the jungle in Costa Rica. New little house just finished and plan to chink glasses with the monkey on our balcony in the trees.
I LOOOOVE this. Costa Rica is on my list for 2022. There are SO MANY places I want to go to there!!
Somewhere in Bangkok!
I looooove Bangkok! Tuk tuks included.
You can't go wrong!
I love hearing everyone's plans! WOW! I ALWAYS have plans, but this is the first year I threw them out the window! I have a feeling adventure will find me 😉
At home, spending time with Family together. But yea, if offered , I might just spring up pack my bags and leave for an exotic adventure
BEST response. I lost spontaneous travel 😉
Bushtime Festival, at Woodfordia. This is a folky art and music festival just outside Brisbane, Australia. Plenty of unique and quirky characters, which means plenty of fun conversations.
WHOA! I had to look this one up! Sounds so neat!
Just moved to Miami, will celebrate with bunch of tourists and New York refugees like me.
LOVE that. you're definitely in a good spot to celebrate!!
I will be in Venice for New Year, catching up with other food lover business women from Scotland and France. I arrive in November and staying on the Venice mainland until Christmas and after New Year. Fingers crossed for some snow!
Good question! I live in Oman so I may stay here and go camping/hiking or maybe book a flight! Hard to say at this point!
TBD, but maybe Boston
