The Johannesburg City Tourism Association (JCTA) officially launched on September 27, at Randlords in Braamfontein. The organisation aims to promote and develop travel and hospitality in Johannesburg inner city and surrounds.
The decision to start the JCTA came from a group of role players in the in the hospitality, transport, retail and travel agency sectors who saw a gap for a collaborative body representing those involved in tourism in the inner city.
“The JCTA offers the opportunity to put collaborative effort in what we, the role players, have to offer to local and international visitors. An example of this is the recent Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, where hotels and event organisers in the city put together “Joy of Jazz” packages for visitors,” says JCTA acting chairman, Isaac Chalumbira.
The association is being run by an ‘action team’ who registered the company and drafted a constitution. The team is inviting the following sectors to sign up as founder members of JCTA: associations and agencies; destination management companies; education, business and political organisations; hotels and hospitality providers; precincts and security companies; travel, tour and walking tour operators.
