On 20 August 2020 the African Association of Visitor Experiences and Attractions held its first virtual conference. Following hot on the heels of five successful in-person conferences, this year was as innovative, informative and intense as previous years and did not disappoint – although we did, of course, miss getting together face-to-face with friends and colleagues from across the country and globe, all of whom are in the attractions industry in some form or another. Nonetheless, #AAVEA2020 delivered a diverse line-up of local and international speakers, some of whom may not have had the time to visit Cape Town, South Africa, for a one-day conference.
