Immerse yourself in South Africa
Incentive travellers are always on the lookout for culturally rich, off-the-beaten track experiences and South Africa seems like the perfect option
South Africa's picturesque smaller towns are relatively unexplored, well-equipped to cater to customisation requests and also boast of widespread availability. In terms of MICE from India, incentive led travel dominates, at approximately 80 per cent.
WESTERN CAPE
• Plettenberg Bay due to its proximity to the Bloukrans Bridge is becoming very popular amongst adventure junkies. After all, nothing brings people closer than jumping off the highest commercial bridge bungee jump in the world to a 216 meter gorge below.
