The Western Cape will become
the first African city to host the World Opthalmology Congress.
It is the biggest conference
to be hosted in the region and it set to take place at the Cape Town
International Convention Centre in 2020.
Western Cape Minister of
Economic Opportunities Alan Winde has called this a major win for business
tourism in the province.
Western Cape Government
Spokesperson Bronwynne Jooste says we actively pursued major international
conferences throughout the year.
She says this conference will
earn more than R200 million for the economy and attracts 15 000 delegates.
This is a major boost for jobs
and growth in the Western Cape Tourism Sector, Jooste added.
