UK-BASED agencies voted Cape Town as the top long-haul city for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) sector. Cape Town beat New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dubai, Toronto and Las Vegas following a vote by 16 327 UK agencies. South Africa was voted as the second favourite long-haul country behind the USA. “The MICE market is a hugely important one for this province, so our progression in these rankings is vital,” says Calvyn Gilfellan, acting ceo for Cape Town Routes Unlimited. “Our mandate is to bring more visitors here, to get them to stay longer, spend more, visit more often and visit throughout the year”, added Gilfellan.
