Best Convention Bureau in Southern Africa is Cape Town and the Western Cape Bureau
The Cape Town & Western Cape Convention Bureau won the Southern African Association for the Conference Industry (SAACI) Member's Award for the Best Convention Bureau in Southern Africa for the second year in succession. The announcement was made during the 29th SAACI Annual Congress, currently underway at the Westin Cape Town.
Corné Koch, Head of the Cape Town & Western Cape Convention Bureau, a strategic unit of Wesgro, the Western Cape's official tourism, trade and investment promotion agency was proud of the destination's performance both on a domestic as well as international level.
"In today's competitive business events environment, retaining this award is a special feat and thanks must be given to the bureau team for its tireless efforts in keeping the bureau relevant and delivering on its mandate. This award is the result of a concerted effort between stakeholders and partners within the industry to work together. Without a dynamic product and service offering and unwavering professionalism in the industry, winning this award would not have been possible".
Cape Town is fast becoming Africa's business events hub, also retaining its ranking as the number one destination for business events in Africa as per results released by the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) Country and City rankings earlier this year.
