Global Reach

Strategically, This Is Cape Town will be featured in airport lounges across South Africa and on Kenya Airways’ international flights to 40 destinations worldwide. Additionally, it will be accessible in the lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi.

To augment its global reach, This Is Cape Town will be promoted through targeted social media campaigns and distributed at major international events, such as World Travel Market (WTM) London and WTM Africa.

Fulfilling the Mayor’s Vision

To fulfill Mayor Hill-Lewis’s vision of creating a tourism-related job in every household, five critical areas have been identified: aviation, cruise travel, events and conferences, SMME product development, and destination marketing. This Is Cape Town magazine aims to feature diverse industries thriving in the region and present them to the world. Each arriving traveler in Cape Town presents an invaluable opportunity to boost the local economy, and the magazine seeks to capitalize on this opportunity.
