We
have enjoyed and benefited from using
this convenient and comprehensive
travel trade directory in 2003, and it
has proven to be a real time saver in
our circulation and marketing efforts.
There are facts and key contacts for
every country on the continent;
information that one will not find
elsewhere, even on the Internet. What's
more, you'll find that it's concise,
correct and current. There's no
exhausting or frustrating search --
since you will usually find what you
need to know in seconds. As our
friend Louis D'amore, founder of the
International Institute for Peace
Through Tourism stated, "It is a
tremendous resource for any travel
professional interested in Africa.
Burkhard Herbote, the person that
devotes his life in putting this and
other World Travel Directories together
is a great friend and supporter of
IIPT. He has provided us with important
introductions and has been very
generous in providing us with contacts
to promote our Summits and
Conferences." Mr.
Burkhard, whose World Travel &
Tourism, Africa contains approximately
13,500 entries, is based in Germany.
His publisher is Tony Axon, World of
Information, Saffron Walden, Essex, UK.

As
publishers of Africa Travel Magazine
and Air Highways, the Journal of Open
Skies, we congratulate Burkhard Herbote
for his hard work and quality
publication. We find it a valuable
resource and an important time
saver. Jerry
W. Bird West African Airports:
Of the West African airports we visited recently,
from Dakar, Bamako and Cotonou, to Accra and
Abidjan, each was in some stage of preparation for
the new air age. We hope this decade will herald
the dawn of seamless, people-friendly airport
operations, with less red tape, plus faster visa
and baggage handling. Two concepts I gained from
our participation in four world class Eco
Conferences, are that airports should become
"agoras" (people places) and "garden spots" (green
spaces). Perhaps it's time for the greening of
Africa's airports. |
