Placing events within the tourism industry as a whole
Both tourism and event management are major industries and contributors to the South African economy. It is important for every event manager to understand the tourism industry, as international delegates to an event almost always want to see the country after the event. If these are planned accurately, bearing all logistics in mind, event managers can very successfully include tourist activities for delegates to increase the value of the conference packages provided.
