Indaba Success Again in the Zulu Kingdom
South African Tourism has hailed Indaba 2005, held last
week over four days, as a success, citing a growth in both
delegate and exhibitor numbers, reports Darren Sandras of
Travel News Now.
According to SA Tourism, a total of 10 667 visitors
attended the show, representing an 11% increase from last
year’s number of 9 629. In terms of buyers, an additional
41%, or 2 303, attended this year compared to 2004, of
which 632 were new international delegates and 939 Indaba
Club members, defined as those who had attended Indaba more
than once. Some 531 local and international media also
attended.
“Indaba sent out the strong message that the industry in SA
is one with which the international trade can do business
with ease and confidence,” said SA Tourism ceo, Moeketsi
Mosola.
While Indaba 2006 will again be held in Durban at the ICC,
the country’s nine provinces will bid to host the event
between 2007 and 2009. The decision will be announced at
next year’s show.
