Meetings Africa: Africa’s Top Business Tourism marketing platform is a central growth strategy within the tourism business market in South Africa.

As the only MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conference, Exhibitions) exhibition in the country, Meetings Africa is focused on growing local corporative visitors while building strong networks, an educational platform and enriching the international hosted buyer programme.

Meetings Africa attracts various establishments that can offer accommodation, transport, conference facilities and supporting services.

Ms January-Mclean reiterated South African Tourism’s commitment to grow the Business Tourism industry in South Africa and its major marketing platform, Meetings Africa. She said that Meetings Africa is gaining international stature each year and that this is due to South Africa’s meeting and incentive industry that is fast maturing, offering a wide variety of products and solutions to choose from as well as its high levels of sophistication.
Meetings Africa 2010 broke its own records and delivered: 14% increase on international hosted buyers, 28% increase on overall visitors, 25% increase on exhibitors and 20% increase on media and is set to improve on these indicators in years to come.
Sandton Convention Centre once again won the bid to host Meetings Africa in 2011. The SCC has been the very happy and successful home of Meetings Africa since its inception seven years ago and the 2011 event promises to be the best one yet.
