SA’s meeting industry showing a strong recovery
Looking at the MICE industry in South Africa, Sandra Kneubuhler, Country Director of Sales & District Director, South Africa at Radisson Hotel Group says, “We have been seeing wonderful progress post pandemic, for instance the international MICE business returning in the form of incentives, conferences and associations. Immediately post Covid, the lead time was as short as a week and we are now seeing an increase and return to longer lead times, which is now up to 12 months for international bookings. There is an evident, growing trend to make MICE more experiential and centered around local experiences. We are thrilled to launch the Book It Easy tool in South Africa, making it that much easier to book a meeting or event at our hotels.”
Book It Easy is fully compatible with the Radisson Hotel Group’s unified technology platform to allow for real-time availability and transparent pricing based on event requirements. It’s quick, easy to use, and is backed by rigorous privacy and security testing.
