Gm of Thebe Conferences Zelda Ingram said: "The fact that South Africa is hosting the first international Wine Tourism Conference and Expo in Southern Africa is testament to the quality of the local industry.”

The conference will also bring value to the tourism industry according to Nokhuthula Dube, CEO of Cape Town Routes Unlimited. She said South Africa’s reputation for producing exceptional wine has added a greater depth to the country’s image. She said: “In terms of wine produced globally, South Africa ranks ninth in volume production and is responsible for 3,1% of the world’s wine. This makes the local industry a valuable global player in a growing market.”
