Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
​At Tourism Innovation Lab Africa (TILA), we are committed to driving transformative change in the African tourism sector by aligning our efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a catalyst for innovation and capacity development, we focus on integrating sustainable practices that promote inclusive growth, protect the environment, and empower communities. Through our programs and initiatives, TILA actively contributes to the following SDGs:
01
Education is central to our mission. Atingi eAcademy and live learning programs provide accessible, high-quality learning opportunities for students, tourism professionals, and educators across Africa. These initiatives build knowledge and skills, promoting lifelong learning in tourism and hospitality.
We champion women’s empowerment through programs designed to support female entrepreneurs in tourism. By fostering inclusive participation in our hackathons and business training, TILA ensures women are at the forefront of driving sustainable innovation in the industry.
02
​TILA promotes digital transformation and innovation in tourism by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). Our focus on tech-driven solutions addresses key challenges in tourism and fosters sustainable growth.
03
​Our initiatives encourage the development of eco-friendly tourism products that highlight Africa’s cultural and natural heritage. By working with communities, we help preserve local traditions and biodiversity while creating immersive experiences for global travelers.
​Sustainability underpins all of TILA’s programs. We promote environmentally friendly practices through our ecotourism projects and partnerships, ensuring the tourism industry actively contributes to mitigating climate change and preserving Africa’s unique ecosystems.
