Tourism Indaba gets a West Coast flavour

Africa’s biggest tourism trade show is currently underway in Durban and this event remains one of the most renowned gatherings for the tourism sector. This is no different for one of South Africa’s favourite regions, the #Weskus.

It is the diversity of this region which always grabs the attention of travel agents and tour operators alike, all wanting to know more about this “untapped” region.

“Indaba offers us the ideal opportunity to promote our region and to prove that we can compete with any other region in South Africa. We offer unique and authentic experiences for tourists of any age” said Kiewiet van Rooyen, Marketing Manager.

One of the regions latest developments is a Weskus Culture and Heritage Route with unique products along the R27 and N7 routes stretching from Swarland to Matzikama and back.
