are Cape Town's leading recreational amenities, shopping areas and cultural attractions, among which are the internationally acclaimed Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. 

On the doorstep is Table Mountain and within an hour's travel are South Africa's leading tourist destinations – The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island, the Winelands, and Cape Point.  With this diverse range of tourism product, choices of pre-and post-convention attractions are wide in variety, and the city is well served by experienced destination management companies.  Other support services, from the highly efficient and helpful visitors and convention bureau to professional, experienced conference organisers are readily available.
