City explores stronger travel and trade ties with other African cities

On the sidelines of this week’s Africa Travel Week, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, Alderman James Vos, met with tourism service bodies from across the continent to discuss initiatives that allow for greater travel and trade opportunities with Cape Town.

Africa Travel Week (ATW) is the continent’s largest travel trade show and is packed with events covering a variety of topics. It is the first major in-person travel show hosted on the African continent since the start of the pandemic.

‘ATW is undoubtedly one of the most important events on the tourism industry’s calendar. Not only does it allow industry players to show off their products and services, learn insights, and network, but the event acts as a major revenue-generator for the industry. In 2019, just three days of on-site business resulted in a phenomenal $451 million in revenue,’ said Alderman Vos.
