Canada Inc. announces an exciting
new technology in digital
photography with the introduction
of built-in Wi-Fi LAN support

Nikon is leading the way with its

Global Position: "This
congress has achieved its main
objective, which is to enhance
cooperation in the promotion and
marketing of our African
destinations in the United States
of America. I believe it would be
a great idea to have an umbrella
tourism organization such as the
Africa Travel Association that
can supplement our promotion and
marketing efforts in other
tourist-generating markets such
as Europe and Asia."

the overnight stay in Pretoria

Representative Congratulations
on a great
idea.:
Here's a letter we received by
e-mail, which may be of interest
to readers and members. We are a
group of seven acrobats based in
Kenya and perfoming at the Safari
Park Hotel and Casino every
Tuesday to Sunday. We are aged
between 20 year to 26 years young
and energetic. We the Mighty
Jambo Acrobats have our humble
beginnings from one of the most
densely populated Ghettos (slums)
in Nairobi- Kenya known as
Mathare Valley. Our dream and
ambition is to improve life in
the ghetto through provision of
the necessary skills and training
to the street boys and girls who
are talented thus helping them
gain self confidence and realise
their full potential. We hope to
improve their attitude,
reliability, industry and focus
as well as reduce drug abuse and
idleness. We are therefore
requesting to team up with you as
road show biz in the cause of
tourism attraction. Web site at
