Following tense discussions with INDABA Bid Parties and the broader tourism industry in Kwazulu-Natal, South African Tourism has decided to revert back to a four-day INDABA taking place from May 11th-14th 2013.
“For all stakeholders, it made business sense to continue to have the show over four days at Durban’s Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre, and we would like to thank them for their input,” says a statement from INDABA Bid Partners.
“We are, however, continuously reviewing INDABA and will make fundamental changes to the show from 2014 onwards, which we hope to announce shortly.” South African Tourism said it was now working on ensuring a positive INDABA ‘experience’ for all delegates and on ‘improving the strong product mix’.
“We are confident the show will retain its important status in generating business for South Africa’s travel trade and providing considerable value for local and international buyers,” continued a statement from South African Tourism.
