Cape Town ICCA ranking rises

CAPE Town’s meeting industry has jumped two places in the highly acclaimed ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) Global Ranking.

The Mother City now holds the 35th position against its previous position as 37. This follows from a submission of comprehensive data by the Cape Town Convention Bureau in support of 42 conferences held in the destination in 2008.

ICCA is a prominent international meetings organisation and the only association that comprises a membership representing the main specialists in handling, transporting and accommodating international events. ICCA boasts over 850 members in over 80 countries worldwide.

The Cape Town Convention Bureau led by Executive Manager, David Frandsen, will represent the city at this year’s 2009 IMEX Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany later in May.
