The Protea Hospitality Group has started a roll-out across South Africa of a purified water system that will replace bottled mineral water in their conferencing venues and ultimately save millions of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills.

African Pride Crystal Towers Hotel and Convention Centre is on of the leading and sophisticated conference venues in Cape Town. Their numerous facilities and experienced personnel are on hand to ensure a relaxing, fun-filled and productive stay, whether you're travelling for business, leisure or a little of both. Their rooms welcome you with mood-enhancing lighting, designer décor and unique works of art to spur the imagination. It's no wonder that you may want to spend your time relaxing in your room, bathing with scented candles, working at your executive work desk, or watching one of your complimentary DVDs.

Nicholas Barenblatt is the Group Marketing and Advertising Manager for the Protea Hospitality Group, which is the largest hospitality company on the African continent with more than 130 hotels in eight countries.

What’s your idea of the perfect conference venue? Is it comfortable and clean, with decent furniture and a projector screen? Or does it include your own personal conference butler to cater to your every whim?
