Welcome to ATRN
Africa’s Voice in Tourism Research and Policy
The Africa Tourism Research Network (ATRN) is a Pan-African think tank dedicated to advancing sustainable, inclusive, and evidence-based tourism development across the continent. We connect researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and communities to generate insights that shape Africa’s tourism future.
At ATRN, we believe that tourism is more than leisure—it is a driver of economic growth, cultural pride, environmental stewardship and social transformation.
Our Commitment
To be Africa’s trusted knowledge hub, shaping tourism policies and practices that benefit people, preserve heritage and protect our planet.
