from Business Events Africa September 2020

It’s time for Africans to explore Africa

Is your team looking for space to strategise, regroup and reconnect? Look no further than Fancourt on South Africa’s Garden Route. Located just outside George and overlooked by the majestic Outeniqua Mountains, Fancourt is the perfect place to mix business and pleasure.

Boasting spacious conference venues and surrounded by 613 hectares of pristine countryside, Fancourt can deliver safe, socially distanced, and tailormade events for businesses looking for a successful, exceptional getaway.

Beyond its state-of-the-art facilities and highly-personalised service, teams can discover a world of inspiration on Fancourt’s estate, with nature trails, restaurants and a spa – everything you’ve been missing during lockdown. Or chat to Fancourt about arranging wine tastings, food and wine pairings, Garden Route excursions, boat cruises, Big 5 game drives, beach braais and more.

Even better? Fancourt’s golf courses are in fantastic condition and keen golfers can tick off their ultimate bucket list by playing three of South Africa’s top golf courses: The Links (1), Montagu (8) and Outeniqua (17).

Peter Dros, sales & marketing director of Fancourt, believes that Fancourt ticks all the boxes for businesses looking for safe post-Covid conferences and events. “A lot of thought goes into the layout of venues at Fancourt, right down to the accommodation on offer. The Fancourt Hotel is divided into different blocks of rooms and suites, sprawling across the estate. This means teams can book out a ‘precinct’ of rooms, grabbing additional space if required.”

And for additional luxury and exclusivity, teams can now book out the Manor House at Fancourt in its entirety. Tucked away amongst beautiful gardens, and with the elegance of yesteryear and the exclusivity of a serene country retreat, The Manor House is South Africa’s leading boutique hotel.

It goes without saying that one can book at Fancourt will complete peace of mind. Fancourt’s Covid-19 measures and protocols are in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) – and the comprehensive protocols developed by the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA).

Mr Dros says that while some measures are immediately obvious, like health screening on arrival, clear signage and frequent sanitising of ‘high touch’ points, protocols are in place for every step of the guest journey.

“Rest assured, our Covid-19 protocols are just as stringent behind the scenes. From kitchen to laundry, meeting room to suite, we have taken every precaution to ensure a happy, healthy – and successful stay.”
