BTO Gears For Virtual Travel & Tourism Expo

The BTTE, which has been held annually since 2013, is a business to business forum where global wholesalers and retailers meet with local tourism operators. This year, the three-day expo will be held under the theme ‘Let’s Explore’.

BTO reasoned that due to COVID-19 pandemic, it has refocused its approach to promote travel to Batswana through virtual platforms. “We are exploring technological advancements in support of the tourism industry now and beyond COVID-19,” the organisation headed by CEO, Myra Sekgororoane stated in a statement.  The locally developed platform is web based and has a number of features that support private meetings, information exchange, high-level panel discussions and video presentation. The platform will allow the international and local participants to interact virtually.
