(December 02, 2008 San Diego,
California) - The Africa Peace Caravan, which
started its journey in Arusha, Tanzania, November
14, 2008, has launched a web site to follow
the Caravan's progress and mission of peace in
Africa. The journey will take them to seven
countries en route to its final destination, Cairo,
Egypt, May 2009.
The new
site, www.africapeacecaravan.org, developed by TravelTalkMEDIA,
Radio and TV, 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 Tanzania, 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

cause and we are very impressed with the tenacity

"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".
