With its growing global tourism profile, Tourism & Film KwaZulu-Natal is actively promoting the region to international travellers and the global travel industry. The organisation recently showcased the destination at the major Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event held in Melbourne, where its presence attracted significant interest from travel professionals.
During the event, I had the pleasure of meeting Mdu Biyela, Business Development & Relations Manager at Tourism & Film KwaZulu-Natal. Their stand was one of the exhibitors at AIME 2026 and I was impressed with their professionalism and the exceptional tourism experiences they presented from this remarkable region of South Africa.
