This Tourism Month, SAACI has been identified to play a pivotal role in Minister Patricia De Lille's five-year plan to transform South Africa's tourism landscape. During the SAACI National Annual Congress in July 2024, the Minister of Tourism said: “To continue growing the MICE industry, the Department of Tourism is committed to working with partners like SAACI, whose mission is to advocate on legislative, regulatory and legal issues that directly impact the industry.” And, with 33 international bids already submitted for 2024-2032, the future of our MICE sector looks brighter than ever.
