“Each year, the World Travel Awards rewards and celebrates excellence across all key sectors of the tourism and hospitality sector. This year, I am delighted to see that Western Cape tourism and hospitality related products are represented in no fewer than 28 categories. This is indicative of just what wonderful, world-class options we have in the province,” says Mireille Wenger, Provincial Minister of Finance and Economic Opportunities.
The nominations range from hotels, resorts, attractions, convention centres, to beach destinations, the best festival destinations, and the best responsible tourism offer.
Voting for the Africa Nominees 2022 closes on Wednesday, 24 August 2022.
I encourage all residents of the Western Cape to make their vote count and help make sure our province continues to receive the global recognition it deserves.
The World Travel Awards has been running for 29 years and last year an impressive 2.3 million votes were cast. Voting is done online here – https://www.worldtravelawards.com/nominees/2022/africa
