05

Tourism & Hospitality

  • Cape Town Tourism
  • Cape Town International Convention Centre

Cape Town's visitor economy continuously reinvents itself, anchored by the CTICC as a major conference and events venue and supported by the city's official tourism body.

Training venue

Cape Town offers a strong selection of 4- and 5-star hotels in the CBD, V&A Waterfront, and Century City areas, many with dedicated conference and training facilities. The Cape Town International Convention Centre is the city's premier purpose-built events venue and is well-suited for large-scale professional training.

Getting there

Cape Town International Airport (CPT) is located approximately 20 km east of the city centre, with a typical transfer time of 20–30 minutes via the N2 highway. Uber, Bolt, authorised metered taxis, the MyCiTi A01 bus route, and pre-booked shuttle services all operate from the airport; use only authorised transport providers from the designated pickup areas.

Visa

South Africa is rolling out an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, currently available for nationals of China, India, Indonesia, and Mexico at Cape Town International Airport. Many nationalities (including EU, US, UK, and several African countries) enjoy visa-free entry for up to 90 days; others may apply for an eVisa — confirm with the nearest South African embassy, as rules vary by passport and the ETA rollout is ongoing.

Safety

Use reputable transport services (Uber, Bolt, or pre-arranged hotel transfers), keep valuables out of sight, and stay aware of your surroundings — especially in crowded tourist areas. Store passport originals in your hotel safe and carry certified copies; for emergencies dial 112 from a mobile phone or contact the National Tourism Safety Line on 083 123 2345.
