Cape Town offers everything from the luxurious V&A Waterfront to the majestic Table Mountain, the picturesque beaches and nightlife.
This kind of recognition doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of serious graft, smart thinking, and a whole lot of local passion. From our neighbourhood entrepreneurs to the people welcoming visitors with a smile, Cape Town’s tourism scene is powered by its people.- James Vos (Cape Town Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth)
Vos also shared that collaborative partnerships with Cape Town Tourism and strategic destination marketing also helps put the city front and centre globally.
Being named the world’s best city again isn’t just about bragging rights… okay, maybe just a little. More than anything, it’s a celebration of what makes this place unforgettable: the people, the energy, the views, and the stories that connect us with visitors from around the world.- Briony Brookes (Cape Town Tourism)
