Cape Town’s offering of ‘conference cum vacation’ is thriving

SIMON BROWN: I’m chatting with Gary Koetser, CEO of Cape Town Century City Conference Centre and Hotel. Gary, appreciate the time. An e-mail hit my inbox recently with a phrase I’d never seen before: ‘Confercation’. Let’s start with what is confercation.

So we are trying to encourage people now to plan ahead and make the most of it, bringing a spouse, and staying on full vacation after or before attending a conference. So to answer your question, in fact we are well up to probably around about 45% on pre-Covid levels. So it’s looking really positive. And we’re focusing a lot on the Asian market as well at the moment with visas becoming a little easier with the E-visa for the Chinese market and the ease of access into Johannesburg. We still don’t have a direct flight from China into Cape Town, but that market is starting to grow and there is obviously a lot of opportunity there as well.
