No partner for Indaba

SA TOURISM has opted not
to appoint a strategic partner
for Indaba and Meetings
Africa.
This follows a tender
process after SA Tourism
issued an expression of
interest inviting firms to
submit proposals in line with
set criteria to demonstrate
their suitability as a possible
strategic partner. The search
for a partner followed a
review of Indaba in 2014,
which looked at ways to
enhance the offering.
“Following great
deliberation, SA Tourism has
concluded that the strategic
partnership model is not
the best option to elevate
Indaba and Meetings Africa
at present,” SA Tourism said
in a statement. “Through its
newly established Exhibition
and Strategic Events
division, its marketing and
communications agency, and
its exhibitions management
agency, SA Tourism will
deliver Indaba and Meetings
Africa into the future.”
Next year’s Indaba will
be hosted by the City of
Durban and KZN from May
6-8. Meetings Africa will
be hosted by the City of
Johannesburg and Gauteng
from Feb 28 to March 1.
