The one-day conference will focus on cities as key tourism destinations and tourism draw cards for nations. The morning sessions will help city officials, community organisations, the private sector, academics, NGOs, activists and other stakeholders understand some of the key issues underlying RT in cities, and will aim to equip them with knowledge and resources to help make a positive contribution toward implementing RT in their city destination.
The afternoon sessions will focus on more practical, operational matters pertaining to the tourism private sector, including SMMEs, larger established businesses and corporate multinationals, when adopting, implementing, managing and marketing RT, supported by case studies presented by experienced industry members.
The conference will take place at the Albert Luthuli Convention Centre (Durban ICC) from 08h30 to16h00, and is free of charge, however registration spaces are limited.
