The 2024 edition of Western Cape Business is the 17th issue of this highly informative publication that, since its launch in 2005, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the Western Cape.
The Western Cape has several investment and business opportunities. Tourism and the film sector are bouncing back and oil and gas exploration on and off the West Coast is taking off. Where South Africa faces its toughest challenges, in energy, transport and housing, the Western Cape is stepping up with practical solutions. Find out more in the publication’s regional overview of the Western Cape.
In addition to the regular articles providing insight into each of the key economic sectors of the province, a special feature focuses on the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) sector in the Western Cape.
The Cape Town International Convention Centre celebrated its 20th year of operation in 2023 and is now a complex comprising two large and adaptable facilities. Jointly owned by SunWest International, the City of Cape Town and the Provincial Government of the Western Cape, the venue has become a popular destination for all-Africa conferences such as the Investing in African Mining Indaba, which in 2023 attracted nearly 10 000 delegates from more than 100 countries.
The two public entities jointly hold 94.9% of the shareholding of the company that runs the CTICC. Many other towns in the Western Cape such as Stellenbosch have conference facilities, whether they are in dedicated facilities or attached to hotels or resorts.
