Tourism Buyers from nine European, Asian and American countries praised the North West tourism products for the ability to capture authentic African experiences in its offerings. The team visited the province post the Meetings Africa event held at the Sandton Convention Centre recently.
Welcoming the team, the MEC for Tourism in the North West Province Wendy Nelson told buyers that the province prides itself with its rich culture in villages, the big five and the warm hearted people.
“The North West is capable of and has many attractions that provides great experiences to tourists. Most of them enjoy learning about our culture, Heritage sites, our food and many other attractions”.
“We hope that the experience you had during your stay in the province will make you comeback for more. We have many more other experiences that we offer outside conferencing. We also have great facilities that can host international conferences and big events”, said MEC Nelson.
Konrad Ong of MICE HUBS from Malaysia was part of the group. A visit to the North West comes highly recommended as he made it known that the experience has changed his approach to cultural and adventure tourism.
“I have been to other African countries and what I have seen here is far much different. I saw the big Five in one day in Madikwe, You Skys are so beautiful, people here are friendly and I went for a village tour which got me wanting for more. This is an unforgettable experience and I would recommend it back home,” said Ong
