Waterfront voted Number 1

“This is high praise indeed, considering this year the competition was particularly tough and the measurement criteria was stricter than ever before,” said V&A Waterfront managing director, Derrick van der Merwe. “It is hugely encouraging to be recognised for our ongoing efforts in ensuring the V&A Waterfront remains the number one attraction in South Africa – for locals and out-of-town visitors alike.

“This is truly a new era for us. Our newly recently launched fashion wing will elevate us even further with its unique setting in which international sought-after brands and the best of local fashion are on offer in an environment that boasts exquisite views and excellent eateries. We are confident in saying that this positions us alongside the best the world has to offer.”

According to Top 500, considerable time was spent reviewing thousands of both listed and unlisted companies. Their findings were checked and re-checked against strict criteria and last year's research and it was found that the V&A Waterfront exhibited an impressive aura of success.
