8th to 9th November
Discover the Island. Experience the Culture. Explore the Opportunity.
From discovering Zanzibar to discovering opportunities.
Experience Zanzibar is a curated post Expo programme showcasing Zanzibar's culture, heritage, tourism economy and investment potential. It allows delegates to rest after three intensive days, to see first hand the destination that investors are being invited into, and to deepen relationships in an informal setting. Packages are delivered with travel partners Adnil Travels and Tours and Safari Experience Africa, and can be tailored for VIP, investor and delegation groups.
Guided walks through Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exploring its history, Swahili, Arab, Indian and European architecture and cultural heritage.
Beaches, marine attractions, dhow cruises and a showcase of Zanzibar's hospitality and tourism offer.
Spice farm visits and culinary experiences celebrating the island's cuisine and culinary heritage.
Meet local communities, artisans, creatives and cultural entrepreneurs, including seaweed farming communities on the coast.
Investment discovery tours of tourism, hospitality, blue economy and real estate zones with project hosts.
Informal networking among delegates, investors, partners and business leaders over shared experiences.
Every delegate leaves with a digital post Expo pack. The official departure of FATI EXPO 2026 delegates is supported with coordinated airport transfers and a hospitality farewell desk. Each pack contains contacts made, meetings logged, deal room updates and the Expo communiqués. The twelve month follow up programme activates immediately, with the Secretariat, ZIPA, NTBF and Access Bank supporting the conversion of Expo relationships into completed deals.
