The South African Travel and Tourism Summit will be held from October 14-15 at The Maslow hotel in Sandton, providing delegates with insights on developments in the local and international tourism landscape and provide a platform for them to influence the outcomes and action plans for the sector.
Organised under the auspices of the Tourism Business Council of SA and Gauteng Tourism, the inaugural Summit is intended as a national forum for debate.
Deputy Minister of Tourism, Tokozile Xasa, will deliver the keynote address based on the conference theme ‘The Value of the Traveller’.
