Not only is Kirstenbosch recognised as one of Cape Townโs Big 6 iconic tourist attractions, but it also received the TripAdvisor Travellersโ Choice Award for 2022, positioning it in the top 1% of โthings to doโ worldwide.โ

The show will bring together top-end buyers, elite media and the most upmarket exhibitors. An increased number of media and hosted buyers from across the globe is anticipated, with a specific focus on Europe and North America.
To enhance business opportunities, the 2023 event will see meeting times extended to 20 minutes and will take place on 31 March to 2 April โ just before WTM Africa, from 3 to 5 April, for those who wish to stay on for it.
Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis adds, โWe are pleased to once again host this showcase of the beauty and opportunity in Cape Town, and on the rest of the continent. Africa Travel Week gives Cape Town the chance to cement its brand as an attractive place to visit, to work, to live and invest in, by providing a platform to connect industry roleplayers. This focus can offer greater opportunity for those working in the tourism sector. We are working hard to support this growth by creating a City of excellence and hope.โ
