initiative advancing Africa&#8217;s leadership in cultural and Indigenous tourism, and fostering collaboration among policymakers, community leaders, scholars, traditional knowledge holders, and tourism innovators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:472;778-1249\">The inaugural Forum, held in Johannesburg in September 2025 in partnership with the National Heritage Council and the Joburg Convention Bureau, brought together 75 delegates from across the continent and beyond. It combined immersive heritage site visits with a day and a half of keynotes, panels, and case studies \u2014 culminating in a shared framework for positioning heritage not as a relic of the past, but as a living foundation for Africa&#8217;s sustainable tourism future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:157;1251-1407\">Forum II carries that work forward: turning the ideas, partnerships, and recommendations from the first gathering into concrete action across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"#register\"  style=\"margin: 0px 20px 30px 0px\" class=\"btn btn-theme animated flipInY visible  scroll-to btn-theme-xl\" data-animation=\"flipInY\" data-animation-delay=\"200\">Register <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-circle-right\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B9Ld6u2puRY\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px\" data-gal=\"prettyPhoto\" class=\"btn btn-theme animated flipInY visible  btn-theme-xl btn-theme-transparent\" data-animation=\"flipInY\" data-animation-delay=\"200\">Watch video<\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;
