The Department of Tourism (DT), in collaboration with the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), South African Tourism (SA Tourism), the Gauteng Tourism Authority (GTA), and the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA), will launch a Smart
Tourism Visitor Information Centre (VIC) at the OR Tambo International Airport on 19 November 2025.
Situated at the international arrivals precinct of OR Tambo International Airport in the Gauteng province, the Smart Tourism VIC is an interactive, paperless centre that offers real-time
information on the country’s varied tourism, culture, and heritage offerings across all nine South African provinces.
As the country hosts G20 delegates and international visitors for the holiday season, the Smart Tourism VIC will welcome guests and remind them of the warmth of the South African people
and authentic travel experiences.
