One of our profiles will be Martha N. Namwinga (right), Deputy Manager, Sales & Marketing, Taj Pamodzi Hotel in Lusaka. Africa Travel Magazine's editors had the pleasure of staying at this excellent hotel and Ms. Namwinga arranged a " bon voyage" dinner. The following morning we said good-bye to Zambia, vowing to return soon and often. I am sure all of our ATA congress delegates were as impressed as we were with the country's hospitality, attractions and facilities. The Real Africa and hosts like Martha won our hearts completely during the 2003 ATA International Congress and post tours. Contact Information/ Sales: Martha N.
