Already Africa's biggest travel industry showcase, this year’s INDABA is going to be a huge event where the tour and travel industry gets to show off
their products to local and international media. It's also where the media gets the scoop on all the latest attractions, lodges, experiences and adventures South and southern Africa has to offer.
 Sugen Pillay, South African Tourism (SAT)’s Global Manager for Events
says, ‘INDABA is our flagship travel trade show and
Africa’s top travel show. It hosts
approximately 12 000 international visitors from the trade,
media and consumer so it is the principal
communications platform in the lead up to the 2010
FIFA World Cup™.’

He says that with the spotlight fully on
the country, all industry players need to pull together
to show the world what we have as a
tourism destination and he points out that INDABA is the
perfect opportunity to do this. ‘It is
our golden opportunity to show the world what we have
here – fabulous cuisine, wonderful
weather, beautiful beaches, big capable cities, world-class
infrastructure…basically everything
that’s good about South Africa’, says Pillay.
Roshene Singh, Chief Marketing Officer
for SAT completely agrees. She
says, ‘INDABA is the engine room of our
destination marketing work, and is important
every single year. This year’s INDABA,
however, takes place a month before kick-off
for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.
'It’s our
very last opportunity to show the world how
ready and excited the travel industry is
for the big global event of June and July 2010.’
