Cape Town nominated for world leading festival, events destination award
CAPE TOWN – The city of Cape Town has been nominated for the ‘World’s Leading Festival and Events Destination” award, after recently scooping the honour within the African continent.
In a statement on Tuesday, the city said it had become the envy of many global contemporaries as a result of its wide-ranging events portfolio, having continually affirmed its place as the events capital of Africa by securing key local and international events over the last five years.
Mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith said eight of the signature events supported by the city contributed more than R3 billion to the local economy.
