Cape Town has once again achieved remarkable recognition, winning double honors at the World Travel Awards Africa 2026, shining the spotlight on the Mother City (AGAIN!). ๐โจ
Often referred to as the Oscars of tourism, the World Travel Awards are determined by a global vote that includes travel professionals, industry leaders, and the traveling public. These accolades are not simply awarded in a boardroom; they reflect a vote of confidence from those who understand travel, work in the industry, and importantly, choose their destinations.
This year, Cape Town received two prestigious titles. The award for meetings and conferences highlights the city's outstanding infrastructure and expertise beyond its picturesque views. It showcases the venues, hotels, professional services, and logistics that enable Cape Town to seamlessly host thousands of delegates for major events.
Cape Town will now move forward to the World Travel Awards Grand Final later this year, competing against regional winners worldwide. For now, letโs take a moment to celebrate this achievement.
Two African titles. One extraordinary city. Another brilliant reminder that South Africa has so much to celebrate on the global stage.
Way to go, Cape Town! Keep shining โ we love it! ๐โจ
