Are we ready for the global spotlight?

Nelson Mandela Bay will be on the global stage this year– but the burning question is, are we camera-ready, visitor-friendly and set up to take advantage of the tourism and economic opportunities?

With South Africa in the presidency of the G20 this year, the Bay will play host to high-profile delegates and media from around the globe attending a number of G20 related meetings to be held here between April and October.

This not only provides a welcome boost for accommodation and conferencing venues, but has longer-term potential benefits through showcasing the Bay’s natural and lifestyle assets, and advantages as a trade and investment destination.

In August, the NAACAM Show comes to the Bay for the first time, turning the spotlight on this metro as the hub of the SA automotive industry with its strong components manufacturing sector.

A global industry networking platform and showcase of South Africa’s automotive value chain and world-class manufacturing capabilities, the event is aimed at facilitating localisation and trade and investment linkages.
