    Why Luxury Travel and Experiences in Africa Matter More Than Ever

    Dans cet épisode, je reçois Emma Vidal (Girl Around Africa) une créatrice de contenu et entrepreneure qui ne “revient” pas en Afrique, parce qu’au fond, elle n’en est jamais vraiment partie. Entre Hearts in Africa, Elegancia Home Africa et ses collaborations avec Manosa Connect, Emma construit un véritable écosystème autour du tourisme haut de gamme et de l’hospitalité sur le continent. On parle de vivre et de créer en Afrique, de la manière dont les expériences haut de gamme peuvent transformer la perception du continent, et des opportunités pour la diaspora africaine d’investir, de voyager et de bâtir localement. Si le tourisme haut de gamme en Afrique vous intrigue ou vous inspire, cette conversation est pour vous! In this episode [IN FRENCH], I sit down with Emma Vidal (Girl Around Africa), a content creator and entrepreneur who isn’t really ‘returning’ to Africa, since for her, she never really left.

We dive into her journey of living and creating in Africa, how luxury experiences are reshaping perceptions of the continent, and the opportunities for the African diaspora to invest, travel, and build locally.
