‘The fact that we have now been chosen to compete against the rest of the world is a significant achievement and is recognition of our city as a world-class destination.  Much work has gone into positioning Cape Town as a destination of choice, no matter what you are looking for,’ said Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Opportunities and Asset Management.

The recognition and exposure of these awards will contribute to tourism and related industries, as the visitor economy brings in much-needed revenue and supports employment opportunities in the city.

‘Our Tourism Bounce Back Strategy, developed in partnership with the City’s destination marketing organisation, Cape Town Tourism, and the City’s Enterprise and Investment Department to get this sector back up and running, includes the Six Pillar Strategy and positions Cape Town as the premier destination in which to Live, Play, Work, Study, Visit or Invest.

‘Let’s ensure that Cape Town comes out tops and gets the recognition our beautiful city deserves by casting your vote,’ said Alderman Vos.
