Durban loves African Tourism Board and Africa wins



Durban loves African Tourism Board, and the African Tourism Board loves Durban.

Durban is the official host of the largest travel industry trade show in Africa,  Indaba, that opened yesterday. Sibusiso Mngoma, Senior Manager, Information & Tourism Sevices at Durban Tourism wants African Tourism Board to hold its first conference in this multi-cultural showpiece of a global destination.


This was discussed in a meeting with African Tourism Board Vice President Cuthbert Ncube and CEO Doris Woerfel yesterday.

The Zulu Kingdom, or the Province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in South Africa has a devout following throughout continental Africa. Nowhere else in the world will one find such a unique fusion of raw natural beauty, modern sophistication, cultural diversity and pulsating energy – all in the most breathtaking natural setting.

Durban has become the hub of Tourism with its diverse cultural products, a Province that has a rich cultural history.


African Tourism Board interim chairman Juergen Steinmetz commented from the U.S: “This South African multi cultural city is the ideal place for all of Africa to come together and celebrate the beauty of the African continent as one destination. Thank you to our CEO and VP to open the doors for our young organization to get to know Sibusiso Mngoma and his team in KwaZula-Natal. We will certainly consider this generous offer.”

Cuthbert Ncube added: “Durban Tourism suggested to host us during the Month of September 2020 if we are ready, being the month of Tourism.”
