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.
π You're invited to join the team as a co-founder in your (African) country.
We have co-founders in Cameroon, CΓ΄te 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):
π The global outdoor (adventure) tourism market earned $282 billion in 2021.
π Market statistics for the Africa continent as a whole is estimated at $112.2 million
π± For Africa, this figure represent a market share of under 0.04%!
Why is Africa performing poorly?

Hello and thanks for checking out our video!
This video is our latest long form video as we continue to learn what it takes to shoot, edit, and craft a good piece of visual story telling. Hope you enjoy, any feedback is welcome.
The Colorado National Monument was a sight to behold. The canyons, spires, and monoliths stood tall against the red rock landscape. It was as if nature had carved its own masterpiece, a testament to the power of time and erosion.
As the sun set, the rocks glowed a deep shade of red, casting long shadows across the land. The air was crisp and clear, and the stars shone like diamonds in the sky. It was a place of raw beauty, where man was reminded of his insignificance in the grand scheme of things.
The Colorado National Monument was a reminder that nature always prevails, and that even the strongest of rocks can be worn down by the passage of time. It was a place to contemplate the mysteries of life and to be humbled by the majesty of the natural world.
We are a husband and wife who have spent the last few years working on our travel video style and would love to get your feedback and thoughts.

Hi Daryle, thanks for sharing your vlog.
I really enjoyed it! I'm not as familiar with Colorado but it looks like fantastic hiking.
Does the altitude make it more difficult (starting at 4700 ft) than hiking from sea level?
Hello Ian, thank for the comment.
Altitude can be an issue for some folks for sure. Especially people who travel to Colorado from sea level and then do a hike or ski at altitude almost as soon as they get to Colorado. Everyone is different though. But many people hike one of Colorado's many 14ers (peaks over 14,000 Ft) every day and though they my have a headache or slight altitude sickness it can endured because the time at such extreme altitude is so short.
These days many outdoor shops and visitor centers sell canned oxygen to help with this but I think it is mostly a marketing gimmick. The most useful thing someone can do is be and stay well hydrated.
