Durban Set along the Indian Ocean, Durban is the largest city in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, as well as the third largest city and busiest port in South Africa. Durban’s Golden Mile is a popular beachfront of restaurants, shops and event venues. Durban’s King Shaka International Airport serves as one branch of the area’s Golden Triangle of transportation between Cape Town and Johannesburg. More than 8,000 hotel rooms are available while meeting spaces include the Olive Convention Centre within easy reach of the beach, and SA’s first international convention centre: Durban ICC. This multi-award-winning Centre has been rated amongst the world’s top 17 convention centres by AIPC and offers the largest flat floor, column-free multi-purpose event space in Africa with 112,000 sqm of flexible exhibition and meeting space.

“Since opening in 2003 we have hosted over 7,432 events. We work very closely with the NCB and the Cape Town and Western Cape Convention Bureau and the city. ICCA has named us the number one MICE city in Africa for the tenth consecutive year. Cape Town is a bucket list destination – I believe the city’s attractiveness coupled with more people making leisure part of business travel, makes Cape Town and South Africa a very desirable MICE destination.” Julie-May Ellingson, CEO, CTICC
