FOREWORD BY SA TOURISM CEO
The 14th Meetings Africa is now here! I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ALL DELEGATES FROM ACROSS THE WORLD TO SOUTH AFRICA! This year we continue with the theme of “Shared Economies.” This is so critical, and is at the heart of doing business in Africa. Meetings Africa is about cementing partnerships that will position the African continent globally as an ideal business events destination and that is why this trade show features events geared up for networking, connecting and for clinching mutuallybeneficial deals.
Last year, the estimated economic impact of the buyers that attended was over R3.3 billion! With more than 260 exhibitors at this year’s Meetings Africa, I assure you that you will meet the best of the best from across the African continent.
There are a total of 307 buyers attending this year’s Meetings Africa, so of course, as an exhibitor, you will get to interact, engage and connect with the best of global buyers. There are more than 5 200 meetings confirmed to take place over the next two days of Meetings Africa. It is only through smart collaborations that we can boost tourism revenue and create more sustainable jobs for our continent. Sustainable jobs mean developing and supporting new entrants to our industry. In this spirit, smaller businesses in this sector will once again be participating at this year’s Meetings Africa. These new and innovative entrants add to the unique, warm and authentic variety of Africa’s business events products and services. I encourage you to visit them in the “Developmental Zone” situated in Exhibition Hall 1. As our country, South Africa, celebrates 25 years of democracy this year, we are thrilled to share this special year with you. We invite you to explore the colourful and vibrant beauty of our country. Please also remember to visit our “Sustainability Village” in Exhibition Hall 2, where you can meet South African artists and crafters, and you can buy authentic and mostly handmade artefacts. This is like taking a piece of South Africa home with you. I wish you all an inspiring and productive Meetings Africa, and I look forward to connecting and sharing ideas with you. SISA NTSHONA CEO: SOUTH AFRICAN TOURISM

DESTINATION PROFILE
Limpopo
The land of myths and legends Limpopo offers a mosaic of exceptional scenic landscapes, a fascinating cultural heritage, an abundance of wildlife species and many nature-based tourism opportunities.
T
he province consists of living cultures, ancient places, nature reserves and national parks, things to do and things to experience – all of which will leave visitors with a greater insight into what makes Limpopo “The Great North”. Situated in the far north of the country, Limpopo borders Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It is a prime wildlife destination with a host of game and nature reserves, including the northern Kruger National Park as well as the Marakele and Mapungubwe National Parks. The main camps offer a range of facilities for visitors, including conference venues and licensed restaurants.
There is spectacular game viewing and birding in the province, as well as a mix of African cultures, intriguing folklore and legend and prehistoric treasures. It is home to the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site, as well as Modjadji, the fabled Rain Queen, and the age-old relics of the Makapans Caves Valley. It is here that the Venda artists live and thrive, and where places like Lake Fundudzi and the Thathe-Vondo Forest are considered to be sacred. With more than four ethnic cultures, the province has the most divergent cultural offering in South Africa. The birding at Nylsvley Ramsar Wetland is a magnet for naturelovers, and many golf enthusiasts
have the extreme 19th hole at Legend Golf and Safari Resort on their bucket list. The city of Polokwane is at the heart of the province – a growing urban hub with its sights set on the future, yet with a heart and soul steeped in traditional values. Limpopo is a fascinating province and delegates will enjoy the wild beauty of the area combined with incredible cultural insights and numerous adventure attractions that will keep them coming back for more. Limpopo has five regions, each offering a unique and memorable experience, namely: Capricorn Region, Waterberg Region, Vhembe Region and Mopani Region and Sekhukhune Region. The province is endowed with bountiful natural resources, including 54 provincial reserves and many private game reserves. The destination is ideal for small to mid-size conferences and incentive groups seeking a different setting to that of a conventional conference or incentive trip.
