More Accolades for the Mother City


Cape Town has won another prestigious prize – this time palming in the award for Africa’s leading destination at the World Travel Award in Durban on May 11. The Property Magazine reports that this is the second time in a row that this popular city has walked away with the award.

Executive Director of Economic, Social Development and Tourism in the City of Cape Town, Mansoor Mohamed, who accepted the award, said that it reaffirms Cape Town’s position as leading tourism destination and will also help to make Cape Town the city of choice for the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

Travel experts have rated this award as the best endorsement that any travel product can receive and it is globally considered as the Oscars of the travel industry.

The Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town also scooped up the award for Africa’s Leading Hotel. Mariette du Tiot Helmbold, CEO of Cape Town Tourism, accepted the award.
