Cape Town for the Business Traveler

Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Amazing sites, from Robben Island, Nelson Mandela's former prison, to tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City". Sun worshippers, surfers and divers flock to nearby white sand beaches and azure waters under Table Mountain. The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters.


Why go there?

With world-class conference and hotel facilities complemented by stunning natural and cultural tourist attractions, Cape Town is increasingly making its mark on the international scene for meetings, incentives, conferences and events.

Is it accessible?

- Cape Town International Airport has world-class facilities and many of the major international airlines fly direct to Cape Town.
- Domestic travel within South Africa is also very efficient with various airlines offering flights on the hour to other major cities. For connecting flights, the flying time from Cape Town to Johannesburg is 2 hours.

Where can we hold our event?

- Cape Town offers over 400 conference and exhibition facilities, including custom built centres designed to top international specifications, facilities at hotels, educational institutions and theatres. These extend to impressive venues located at wine estates, beach resorts and exclusive golfing estates.
- The city’s top venue, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), has been designed to bring all its facilities under one giant roof – 10 000 square metres of dedicated exhibition space, and banqueting and meeting facilities, and a link to a deluxe 483-room hotel. The CTICC can accommodate up to 10 000 delegates, its technology and infrastructure is state-of-the-art, its venues are flexible, and the kitchen facilities are the largest and most advanced in the Western Cape.
- Located near the sea and harbour and the world famous Victoria & Albert Waterfront in a cosmopolitan environment, the CTICC is without doubt on an equal footing with other top international convention centres.


Will we be safe?

Concerns regarding personal safety in South Africa are valid – it would be completely remiss of anyone to deny this, but the visitor to Cape Town can rest assured of the city’s excellent security standards and safety record. Common sense rules for safety are promoted everywhere, and all reputable establishments employ state-of-the-art security measures.
