Pretoria - With just days before the start of the Tourism Indaba in Durban, organisers say they are confident the event will deliver widespread international exposure for the country.
Ndabo Khoza, Tourism KwaZulu-Natal’s Chief Executive Officer said the Indaba remains a flagship marketing platform for creating awareness of KwaZulu-Natal as a unique and diverse tourism destination.
Khoza said visitors to Tourism KwaZulu-Natal’s Indaba 2013 exhibition stand can also enjoy the ‘curio shop’ where delegates can buy KZN mementos and Zulu arts and craft products, with the option of having them couriered directly home after the Indaba.
The Tourism Indaba will take place at the iNkosi Albert Luthuli ICC and the Durban Exhibition Centre from 11 to 14 May. More than 1 100 main and sharing exhibitors and 2 000 international and local buyers – 250 of them top international buyers hosted by South African Tourism – are expected to attend. The total number of visitors during the four-day period, is expected to exceed 10 000.
“As one of the largest tourism marketing events on the African calendar, the Indaba ranks amongst the top three ‘must-attend’ travel trade events in the world.” – SAnews.gov.za
