Cape Town crowned top festival and events destination

For the second year in a row, Cape Town has walked away with the title of The Leading Festival and Events Destination at the World Travel Awards 2021. What an amazing win for the beautiful and vibrant South African city!

This title is definitely well deserved for its dedication to tourism and hospitality throughout the year and, of course, its absolutely stunning nature and melting pot of cultures!

World Travel awards accolade ‘confirmation of Cape Town’s ability’

Commenting on the win, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said: “It’s an absolute honour to receive this accolade and just further confirmation of Cape Town’s ability to host top-tier events successfully and at a level seen in many other parts of the world.

“It is also evidence of the appeal our city holds as an attractive global tourism location.”

Discounted rates for the vaccinated

Cape Town Tourism CEO Enver Duminy and others in the industry have gone the extra mile to market the Mother City as one of the top travel destinations in the world and the hard work has definitely paid off ten-fold! Despite the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local tourism and hospitality industry, the city has won the prestigious title again.

One of the ways in which the city has been able to keep its tourism sector running like a well-oiled machine, has been the discounted rates on offer for tourist attractions to those who have been vaccinated.

COVID safety top priority for Cape Town tourism

Duminy said: “It’s really the industry’s greatest – and only – hope right now. We have partnered with the City of Cape Town to launch our domestic tourism campaign to help our residents show our local businesses love while travelling wisely with COVID-19 precautions top-of-mind”.

Congratulations, Cape Town, you have done it once again!
