‘These awards bring with them significant global attention and spectator value and come at a crucial period as we head into our peak visitor season.
‘Locals have long known that Cape Town is a triple A-rated city, which in this instance refers to accommodation, attractions and aviation, signalling the strength of our destination value.
‘In all three categories, we are recording fantastic recovery numbers with even better figures projected for the coming months. Between November and December, we are expecting 184 international flights per week. This will increase to 191 flights per week between January and March next year. This amounts to approximately 1,56 million two-way seats between November 2022 and March 2023, generating a whopping R7,9 billion in tourism spend.
‘This is the result of hard work by the City and its partners to connect with more key source markets, and clever campaigns such as Find Your Freedom from Cape Town Tourism (CTT), our official Destination Marketing Organisation,’ said Alderman James Vos, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth.
This interactive concept allows users to choose an avatar – a
- Fearless Foodie,
- Nature Warrior or
- Urban Adventurer
for a virtual taste of Cape Town. The interactive travel experience is a first-of-its-kind for a destination marketing organisation aimed at increasing bookings and highlighting unique Cape Town experiences.
‘We will also focus single-mindedly on growing the economy so that more people can get into work and out of poverty while working around-the-clock to attract more visitors with clever campaigns and travel connections,’ said Alderman Vos.
CONGRATS to Cape Town and to all those that help to make it a GREAT and award winning city!
