APTA’s main goal is to promote tourism to the African continent and its Islands. One of the ways in which this is done is to educate its members. APTA serves and leads its diverse membership through advocacy, innovation and information sharing, in an effort to strengthen and improve public transportation. All APTA members and staff work to ensure that public transportation is available and accessible for tourists in communities across the country. APTA also provides the travel community with bi-monthly educational programs, quarterly news, annual Discover Africa trade shows and familiarization trips. With continued growth and international recognition, APTA is an interactive resource for colleagues and clients who share the love of Africa.
