Outdoor activities and tourism at consumer expo

29 Jan 2007

This year's Rand Show, which opens its doors for the 112th year on Friday 30 March to Sunday 15 April 2007, will feature an extended outdoor living area, including camping and outdoor living equipment and products, as a result of research showing that visitors are looking for outdoor activities. So says Bryan Brett, manager of the Rand Show.

Adds Brett, "Kagiso Exhibitions and Events are also introducing a brand new Domestic Tourism Hall at this year's Rand Show, underpinned and supported by South African Tourism (SAT). This exciting new addition to the show is aimed at increasing awareness of tourism in southern Africa featuring a variety of coastal, mountain and adventure destinations and attractions as well as comprehensive travel options."

A host of activities are orchestrated each year aimed at keeping the younger visitors to the Rand Show entertained. From headline music festivals featuring the best South African acts to favourites such as the animal carnival with a line-up of pet events and inter-active experiences such as the petting zoo. The SABC lake stage is a live presentation of well-known television productions.

"The Rand Show is fundamentally a family experience and the composition of the exhibitors and events staged at the Rand Show is carefully selected to build and enhance this tradition. Visitors to the show will be overwhelmed with the choices available to them in one convenient and safe location," explains Bryan.
