Cape Town - South Africa as a repeat destination for American travellers is a key source market, not only for leisure travel but as a source of leading business events and conferences, says the National Department of Tourism.
The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Tokozile Xasa is attending IMEX America 2016, a leading platform for conducting business on an international scale, taking place in Las Vegas - in order to showcase South Africa's world-class attractions, infrastructure and affordable venue and accommodation costs.
According to the minister, South Africa remains open to doing business.
"South Africa is an exceptionally capable, infrastructure-rich, experienced, cost effective, welcoming and globally competitive business event destination.
"Our participation demonstrates that South Africa remains open for business and that we are determined to increase our business events arrivals and to put the business events sector to work to create jobs and contribute substantially to economic growth."
