(November 27,
2008 San Diego, California)
CelestiaLINK, LLC, parent
company of TravelTalkMEDIA,
Radio and TV, announced today
the launch of the official
Africa Peace Caravan Web site.
The Web site, developed by
TravelTalkMEDIA, follows the
2008-2009 Africa Peace Caravan
on its journey throughout Africa
to promote peace and freedom on
the African continent as it
wends its way to the next Annual
Congress of the Africa Travel
Association (ATA) to be held in
Cairo in May, 2009. The
idea for the caravan was
inspired by the work of the
African Travel Association whose
vision it is to "Bring
the world to Africa and Africa
to the world."
The recent departure of the
caravan from Arusha, Tanzania on
November 14, 2008 signified the
official start
and first phase
of the peace
journey. Arusha was chosen as
the starting point for the
caravan because it served as the
site of the 2008 ATA Congress.
The caravan will initially
travel to Djibouiti where
additional plans are being made
for the second phase of the
peace trek.
Beginning again
in April 2009, the caravan will
resume its journey and chart a
course through Ethiopia, Sudan
and, finally, Egypt. Like the
ideal of the Olympic Torch, the
convoy of buses and vehicles in
the Peace Caravan buses will
travel across the Africa
continent carrying the symbolic
Peace Flag along the way.
The Peace Caravan
will arrive in Cairo on
15 May 2009,
to coincide with
the start of the 34th
Annual Africa Travel Association
Congress
Sandy Dhuyvetter, Executive
Producer and Host of
TravelTalkMEDIA, RADIO and TV
said, We are honored to work
with such a worthy cause and we
are very impressed with the
tenacity and the dedication
shown by the organizer, Ali
Liaquat Ms Dhuyvetter, who
spearheaded the Web development
team and leads to effort in
generating media attention for
the caravan, added, As
information about the progress
of the caravan comes in from the
African highways and roads, we
will share it with our audiences
and the travel industry through
updates at the Africa Peace
Caravan Web site, press releases
and on our weekly Newsletter at
TravelTalkMEDIA.
