SA's Cape Town Secures Top Tourism Titles at 2026 World Travel Awards: Media
The city was named both Africa’s Leading City Destination and Leading Meetings and Conference Destination for 2026, media outlets reported.
The awards were announced based on votes from travel professionals, industry leaders, and the public, the press noted.
The double win highlights Cape Town's strength in both leisure and business tourism, as intra-African arrivals to the city rose by 17% and foreign investor spending increased by 18% in 2025, according to reports.
"A visitor becomes a tourist, a trader and ultimately an investor. They experience our city, build relationships, discover opportunities and often return, bringing colleagues, friends and family with them. That is the real power of business tourism," CEO of Cape Town Tourism, Enver Duminy, was quoted as saying.
