“We have been attending WTM Africa for six years now and have learned that defining our target market is key to get the most out of the show. We get to know and understand our competition, make valuable new media contacts, build partnerships, increase exposure to Plettenberg Bay and gain momentum. It’s invigorating for our team and they also learn a great deal about the industry,” says Plett Tourism’s Patty Butterworth (Media Spokesperson). “We are honored to have been selected as one of the few Media Partners of this year’s event, in particular as we are the only Local Tourism Office (LTO) that has been selected,” says Butterworth.

World Travel Market® Africa 2020 will take place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) between the 6th and 8th of April. Plett Tourism is participating with the district tourism body, Garden Route & Klein Karoo and Wesgro on the very popular Western Cape stand.
