The sixth Sports and Events Tourism Exchange (SETE) Conference will run from October 25-27 at the Protea Hotel Fire&Ice, in Menlyn, Tshwane. This is the second year the City of Tshwane will host the conference, which was previously held in KwaZulu Natal.
SETE is a dynamic business-to-business platform that aims to position South Africa as a sports and events tourism destination.
The two-and-a-half-day conference will include topics such as event sponsorship trends, the impact of technology on the events industry, and the travel behaviour and trends of golf tourists. Global and national experts will share insights and case studies in each of these sessions.
“Sports and events tourism is a growing global industry with significant economic implications for both the event and the impact of travel- and tourism-related benefits on host destinations,” said Sugen Pillay, Commercial Director at Thebe Reed Exhibitions and the Programme Director for the SETE Conference.
The City of Tshwane will also launch its recently developed event strategy, which aims to prioritise investment in growing the events tourism industry in the city.
Delegates over the past five years have included international buyers from more than 20 countries.
