Host City: Cape Town

May 20, 2019/in News/by wpadmin

Cape Town is not only the most popular international tourist destination in South Africa, but Africa as a whole. This is due to its good climate, natural setting, and well-developed infrastructure.

Cape Town is the quintessential melting pot: it is a city alive with creativity, colour, sounds and tastes. While walking through the city’s streets and meeting its people, you will fall in love with its natural beauty, creative freedom and incredible spirit. Cape Town is a city where the unexpected is always just around the corner and the beautiful province of the Western Cape lies ready to be explored across the city border.

WHY CAPE TOWN

  • Number 1 Convention Destination in Africa
  • Modern infrastructure
  • Global recognition and appeal attract higher delegate numbers
  • Substantial development within technology sectors
  • 4 major universities

Cape Town has been voted the best city in the world to visit in the UK Telegraph travel awards for 5 years in a row.

CONVENTION CENTRE

Situated at the foot of one of the world’s most iconic mountains, in the heart of South Africa’s vibrant and welcoming Mother City, Cape Town International Convention Centre’s (CTICC) undeniable charm as a preferred exhibition and event destination is exceeded only by its flexibility and versatility.
Offering fully customisable venues, world-class facilities and trained, professional staff, CTICC is designed with great experiences in mind. From its modern architecture and spacious venues and advanced technology to its scrumptious -world class cuisine and legendary service ethos, every detail is meticulously attended to.
With easy access to some of Africa’s most popular and beautiful visitor attractions and five-star accommodation on its doorstep, CTICC is far more than an exhibition venue; it’s an exceptional destination.

For more information, please visit www.cticc.co.za

ACCOMMODATION

Cape Town offers over 20 000 formal hotel bedrooms, 4500 within walking distance to the Convention Centre with another 6000 within a 15 minute radius.

MAIN ATTRACTIONS

Cape Town has so much to offer as a tourist destination with South Africa’s top six tourist attractions within one hour’s drive from the city centre; the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope (Cape Point), the Cape Winelands, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Robben Island, a short boat trip away.
