On Monday night the World Travel awards were held at the ICC in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal. Since they were established in 1993 the awards have constituted the most prestigious tourism rating the planet has to offer. It was at this prestigious ceremony that Cape Town was selected as Africa’s premier tourist traction.
Mansoor Mohammed, who co-received the award on behalf of “Cape Town Tourism“, said that this reaffirmed their belief in Cape Town’s infrastructure led economic and tourism growth strategies. It also helps to promote Cape Town as one of the top destinations for the highly anticipated soccer world cup in 2010. Mariëtte du Toit Helmbold, CEO of Cape Town Tourism, also drove home the fact that it is the service and hospitality provided by so many that makes Cape Town so fantastic.
